Admittedly only about 5 minutes less but if Stagecoach charge for the dead time from the garage, you are looking a good 10 minutes less which isn't a massive saving but every saving is more money in the kitty.

When I say like for like, I don't mean exactly like for like as I know some routes will cost a lot more but the 16/17 has an extra 2 buses compared to Avon. The 84/85 (which the extension replaces) has as PVR of 2. Keeping both routes the same would have no cost increase but could have a cost decrease. Things like the stupidly early extra trips as well. 38 and the 80 are good examples of this.

Ok , if the 16/17 now has an extra 2 vehicles on it , and the 84 and 85 used 2 vehicles on it , there is no change in vehicles between the two routes combined.
