I know that Jimbo. It dosen't explain why buses suddenly go out of service mid journey with passengers on board then jump back into service just before they go into the bus station.

jimbo a lot of 419s are rostered to max out driving hours most 419s except the dinner reliiefs the driver does 4 1/2 hours on them ( 3 full trips) if he is late on there last trip he has to run out of service or the bus would be stuck in say chadderton until the next driver can get up there (basically its driving hour regualtions) plus ive been out all this week exc today timekeeping checks at ashton and pte have been in middleton checking times and speeds. if they appear like there n service to me they can get away with it and i dont report it on my kpi`s (but can you give me any specifics jimbo i would like to check up on this now its been raised thanks

James it was me that raised the 419 issue.
I noticed it yesterday [Thursday] at about 12.20/12.25pm.
The bus seemed to be on time, not late nor early which is why I was baffled but to then jump back into service at the lights just seemed odd.
