They are extremely unreliable. I was waiting for the 07:30 bus to
Penrith
station a few weeks ago. Got there a few minutes early... Waiting,

No bus. 35 minutes later bus arrives. I could have walked to Penrith!
Growl.
The day Westbus start accepting SRA passes is the day I'll start using
them again :-)

wouldn't
even take half an hour then.
