Their 18 timetable is barely achievable off peak but the poor driver shave no chance of keeping to time in the peak and the service just falls apart, whereas First's 2 and 10 do at least tend to come roughly when they are due, because they are given more running time. <br /><br />Typical Bluestar I'm afraid.
