Following on from the CPTF, I thought I'd have a look at the 150 timetable after some quite strange things were said about it.

1) First weekday service arrives at QSBS at 5:54am, but the first outbound service doesn't leave until 7:20am.  What happened to the BUZ service standards?  This is the exact opposite of the things that the trains do.

2) A modicum of logic applies in the AM peak, but in the PM peak the rocket services start operating far too late.  There's two 156s (at 3:04pm and 3:24pm) but besides that the first rocket is at 4:30pm.  This is missing the boat a little.  What's with Cultural Centre starters at 3:25, 3:34, 3:44, 3:54?  It is quite unsurprising that these did not appreciably reduce full buses.  Shouldn't these either be P157s or 150s from QSBS?  Another alternative would be 153s.   

3) What's with having a P151 and a 153?  Just one rocket for Gowan Rd please.  I prefer the 153, but it shouldn't have to serve Nemies Rd, just run along Compton Rd.

I actually believe this should be two BUZes, 151 & 156.  Or perhaps 153 & 156 would be faster and therefore preferred.
