As a driver (well maybe I am speaking for myself here) I am always aware of whether or not I am running to time and for me, I hate being late and it puts additional pressure on you.

Maybe Runcorn need to look at more 'realistic' timing points to improve reliability....

As for the 79C, this is even worse....get stuck in the lights around Queen Square and your constantly fighting to make progress on your journey..

Although driving different services around Merseyside, I can well echo the problems of some timetables having unrealistic timing points and so it isn't always possible to run the buses to the timetables.
3137, 2526 and 2535 are all on the 1/2
2261 on the 82a this morning! Reliability seems to have become a problem for Runcorns cadets, with me seeig a massive 14 breakdowns myself this year let alone the ones I haven't witnessed.
2261, 3137 and 7672 on the 79C
7672 on the 110 today, and 2261 on the 79c.
dno if its been reported in here but 7641 back at st helens now so that leaves 2261 from st helens and 7670 and 7672 from green lane depot on loan here
7670 and 7672 are here at Runcorn for another month or so I hear.
