The single door PDLs continue to infest the 410. I haven't been on the dual door PDL or the ADL of late but it looks like both have the wheelchair/pushchair bay in the same silly place as the single door buses, although hopefully they might be bigger.

Performance continues to be poor and drivers continue to sail past compulsory stops when they think they are full (even when the waiting passengers can see they are actually half empty).

I was able to monitor the bus service in Davidson Road for a spell yesterday. This spell was from 5:50pm till 6:25pm. During that time you would expect to see at least four buses in each direction. Southbound there were two buses in quick succession after about ten minutes, then a break of ten to fifteen minutes before the next one, then two more in the next ten minutes. So that was a total of five which is about right, although the intervals were a bit messed up.  However that is not the direction of peak flow. In the northbound direction, where crush loading regularly occurs, there was ONE bus, and that was at the end of the period. So that was an interval of at least thirty five minutes between buses during the peak evening period.
