110/115 changes

Basically the 110 and 115 will now coordinate weekday daytimes.  It seems that a 51 minute dwell is to be instituted at "The Parks" for the 115.  Returning as a 155 would make little difference either way.

Even so, I think this is the sort of efficiency that they should be pursuing.  Better to run a bus at the times people want it than have routes on a common corridor leaving one after the other.

How did you work that out?

If the 115 is just looping, then I read dwells of between 31mins and 64mins...

I don't really know the area well enough to understand the ins and outs of the timeable, do outbound 110s end at Inala B then make their way over to The Parks to commence inbound/ viceversa/ something like that?

Weekday daytimes the 115 departs at :03 and arrives at :12.

Yes, it could run blank to Inala but there's no reason why the 110 can't just turn straight around.  Except that that could be too tight a turnaround @ 7 minutes.

It would be better if they canned the 115, extended the 110 to Richlands and replaced most 466 trips, except first/last service(s).  Removing the 115 from Hellawell Rd should also include putting the 130 on it.

Anyway, that isn't what I really wanted to talk about.  This is the sort of efficiency which should be pursued across the bus system, with an even headway between two routes which share a significant part of the same corridor.  I would like to see more of this.

It is reasonably welcome.  It does create 40 minute gaps, on the 110, but only on the low density bit along Learoyd Rd that anecdotally receives virtually no serious loadings (and probably even fewer now the 100 is being BUZed).

You've lost me.  These had hour gaps before and still will?

Looking at wrong part of the timetable sorry.  It is only in the peak.

Ok thanks
