Sometimes too many services can be as problematic as too few. Whilst the X8 may be quicker and more convenient for many passengers wanting to travel longer distances the problem is that if a 1 or 2 turns up at Sir Thomas Street there is no way of knowing whether the X8 is one minute or twenty minutes behind despite what the timetable indicates. Until Stagecoach follows Arriva's lead and introduces a real-time app, this problem will persist. A similar problem exists with Stagecoach's X2 service which competes with Arriva's 47.
