Interesting. My perception is that waits for the 15 have got longer since
Stagecoach East London became ELBG. Almost as though they were sneakily
turning out two or three buses less each day, in the hope nobody would
notice. Given that Stagecoach - a pretty efficient business - decided that
there wasn't a sufficient profit margin for them in TfL tendered services, I
wonder if Macquarie are making cuts in naughty ways?


I'm not sure of that. ELBG looks like a "busman's bus company" these
days. I doubt Macquarie have much to do with its day to day running,
though if they're cutting costs I suppose maintenance and thus
reliability may suffer.
