| Comment | Because the Cathcart Circle services have been all but withdrawn, so all you're left with is the hourly Newton service.
There are three morning Circle ones (07:35, 08:13, 08:19 from Central) and two evening ones (17:05, 17:24 from Central) Monday-Friday and that's it.
In the past there'd have been one in each direction every hour Monday-Saturday so you could REASONABLY get to Central three times an hour. But yeah, now it's just hourly what's the point?
Things are moderately better on the Queens Park side of the Circle, but even now trains at night are hourly.
Will we ever get pre-COVID service levels back? Probably not. At least not until they train hundreds more drivers. And given they're now suggesting de-staffing the stations (yeah, good luck running Mount Florida with no staff) things are going to be even worse unless the RMT and politicians with non-zero levels of vertebrae defeat the proposals. </rant> |
