Anthing can make the number 1 15 minutes late. You can account for it then buses stop at every timing point because they are early or, as current, the layover is at the Chester end because Liverpool doesnt have lots of layover space either. If the old bus stop opposite the bus station is remaining, liverpool buses could run from Liverpool Road, left onto the ring road then if ontime, go round Hoole Way roundabout into the station or if early, turn right where the old bus bollard was then drop off in the iceland side bus stop and layover there but there isnt ample space if that was the plan for those. Without the 15 minutes in Chester, this route could drop to one of the most unreliable because as I said, you cant count it in the schedule and you cant drop it.

Traffic and accidents are both bound to happen and need to be factored in by operators when scheduling routes.
