Wasn't expecting it to be busy but there were even people waiting at bus-stops for buses that weren't due for some time this morning! There definitely should have been more publicity about the reduced service today (such as posters at bus-stops on busy corridors).

One specific issue that I can see next New Year's Day, with the 53A being withdrawn soon, is Thornton (with no 47s and X2s running too) and Park Lane (also on Boxing Day) being left without a bus and the link that the service provides being lost (unless they run the 63 - very unlikely!).

i saw the first publicity for Christmas services in early November, and it's been heavily promoted on buses and on all city centre stops. so I'm sorry, don't think lack of publicity can be blamed. People just choose not to check in advance and are then left waiting at stops.
