It was. Although (not so much in defence as in comparison) most of their routes generally followed one main road (apart from schools), and most passengers in the polish driver era just bought flat fare or weekly tickets. So there was a degree of simplicity.

Diamond on the other hand have routes that aren’t actually that easy to follow even if you know the area! On day 3 of the new trafford timetables yesterday there wasn’t much improvement. I passed one 18 doing a reverse round corner, and another completely off route!
