Unlike trains, the regulations prohibit sticking a load of extra time at the end of the route, so it has to be spread out. As others have alluded, traffic is getting more and more unpredictable, so these kind of journeys aren't gonna go away especially on longer routes.

The sooner stagecoach introduce mobile bus tracking the better. Firsts version may not be without its flaws but it's a damn site better than being in the dark, mid route on an infrequent longer service.

If there's one thing that annoys passengers most on a bus journey,it's unnecessary wasting of time at a bus stop where nobody is getting on or off because of vastly over conservative scheduling. It's time the guys/lasses who do this job do it properly. The worst case scenario is not the way to do it.
