Loadings on the 658 looked very healthy last night appeared to be atleast 10-15 onboard

What bus operated it?

893s fate might be the same as 890, Will try to confirm when i know for sure

it was a Saphire pulsar 1

Do pulsars normally operate this route in the evening? Personally I don't think the 10-15 passengers is great for a full size bus. I was thinking it would be a solo or an MPD given the numbers. It may take time for loadings to pick up although I very much doubt it will pick up.

One of the dutys come off the 575/362 so a Sapphire Pulsar is on there every day

These are contracted journeys, so as long as there are enough unique passengers and TfGM funds allow, the service should be quite safe from withdrawal.

Thought they made more money than that than it to be a contract service

I know Stagecoach are notorious for not registering weekly tickets could this affect the recorded loadings??
