For the Mon-Fri timetable the 25 will change to a 30 min frequency between 0828 & 1458. For the 28/28A it will change to a 60 min frequency 0948 & 1448. These times are from the Interchange. Full timetables will be available from the 21st August

We already had indications about the 28(a), but the 25's frequency reduction is new.
We'll soon be down to half the frequency the 25 (and former 25c) operated at about a year ago and before.
I unfortunately can't see a new service being introduced to compensate.

I imagine that the 25 will have to be fully decker-operated, because otherwise it just wouldn't cope.
To be able to offer full decker operation though, even if the 3 and 23(a) have similar frequency reductions, there would not be enough deckers.
I can see just the 25 and 3 interworking, with the 23(a) splitting off and interworking with the 4a, being single-deck operated, each running every half-hour.
But we will probably just have to wait and see.

This would allow the 25's and 17's to combine to give an 'every 15 minutes' service between Gorse Covert and Birchwood, perhaps encouraging (or forcing) more use of the 17.
