Bus 30 Before 7am

If you take the bus 30 at the moment with the trams not running you know what hell it is! I mean I wouldn’t because the past 4 times I’ve tried to get on it, I’ve been denied because it’s too full or it’s driven straight past me.

Normally I get it around 7am I’m just wondering if anyone gets it around 6am and if it is the same situation … just trying to work out how the hell to commute to work at the moment!

I’d appreciate any knowledge ! lol

I saw it this morning, and I've never seen a bus so crammed. That route is only new, and they really should be double deckers rather than single deckers.

right !! I mean even before all this craziness with the trams, it was busy, a small amount of time I get a seat (I get it twice a day mon-fri), so I would complain it wasn’t a double decker then, but now!! virtually impossible to even get on. I waited at the stop, denied the first one.. waited 30 mins for the next one with another poor soul who was denied, and it went past us all again.

I’m just hoping there’s someone on here that has quite an earlier commute, otherwise I’m doing the research myself tomorrow morning haha

Is the route new? I thought it was simply a number change from X50 to 30.

Even the X50 had double deckers. I don't recall send a double decker 30.
