Default Route 73 - New service levels

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.

Even worse on Saturday morning. I waited for several minutes before a 63
came. No sign of any 73s in either direction. In the end I saw a couple in
the distance descending Pentonville Road towards the Cross as my 63 turned
off for Mount Pleasant.
