Default Route 73 - New service levels

At the end of the first week of operation of the route 73 benders,
here's a few notes I have made on the level of service:

[Details of tale of woe snipped]

Conclusion: These are all trips I could have completed easily on a 73
two weeks ago; compared to the service on RouteMasters, the
bender-operated 73 route is appaling if your want to get to/from Seven
Sisters.

My observations at King's Cross almost bear this out. Before I almost
always saw one or more Routemaster 73s on my way (on a bike) from Platform
11 to Judd Street. This morning I saw one in the distance on Euston Rd and
caught up with a small convoy of two in Bloomsbury St about to turn into
New Oxford St.
