Livery Delivery – A P.S.<\/span><\/p>\n If course, there are no timetables anywhere, just departure lists; and no printed leaflets either. For short frequent routes, departure lists are just about OK, but the 725 is long so a user might want some clue as to when they might get there. Such information is on the departure list if you can be bothered to do h maths!<\/p><\/div>\n … complete with equally uninspiring logo.<\/p>\n Nothing on bus stop flags either.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n At a glance, you can see that the new 725 misses out some stops but follows the same route as the 302 via Digswell Park. The 908, as we saw in a previous blog, is different.<\/p><\/div>\n Now here’s an idea! Wouldn’t it be easier for the public if the 908 were a short working of the 725 with both following the current 908 route and both being limited stop? Ot maybe neither running limited stop between Stevenage and WGC. Readers can amuse themselves by compiling a combined timetable in the opposite direction!<\/p><\/div>\n It doesn’t appear on the network map so fbb will have to do a bit of investigation.<\/p><\/div>\n The 724 (above) has point times at New QEII Hospital and Hatfield Galleria. Are these served by the 725?<\/p><\/div>\n And no to the Galleria<\/span> ditto.<\/p>\n This is a pity. A simple doubling of the 724 frequency between Hatfield and Rickmansworth would be easier for the travelling public and better PR for the bus in general.<\/p><\/div>\n Between Luton and Harpenden …<\/p>\n … and between Harpenden and St Albans …<\/p>\n The 721 follows the same route as part of\u00a0the 321\u00a0(below)<\/span>.<\/p>\n The 721 (below)<\/span> adds an extra 30 minute servicer over the top of the 321’s every 30.<\/p>\n The running time is the same between Luton and St Albans so fbb assumes that it is not limited stop. So why 721 and not 921<\/span>?<\/p>\n And again, is there enough business to justify FOUR buses an hour between Luton and St Albans. There are oodles of trains as well although St Albans station is less than ideal for the city centre.<\/p><\/div>\n
