Took the morning off, went in after lunch. D3, 54 minutes, but the second bus (the connection) left 6 minutes earlier than it should, which would have been a problem if I'd been meaning to catch it.

PM: Walked home voluntarily. Noticed that the queue of traffic from Queen Dull Street stretched halfway down Ennui Hill, and that no buses went past me, so I give a virtual rating of (E5) for this afternoon.

AM: A3, 35 minutes. Record time due to being able to catch a late-running connection from Dulchester Bus Station. Hence the 3, because although this was good news for me, its regular punters had to wait 7 extra minutes.
PM: A6, 73 minutes. Two buses didn't turn up, this despite going home 1 1/2 hours later than usual. On the plus side, once the bus did arrive, the journey was fast (30 minutes - as timetabled!) and it continued all the way to Dulchester Hospital, which it isn't supposed to do that late at night.

AM: A3, 42 minutes. Although traffic was still at half-term levels, bus was at least 5 minutes late.
PM: B3. Walked home voluntarily from bus station.

AM: A1, dtd 39 minutes.
PM: E4, dtd 65 minutes. 10 minutes late arriving, and horrendous traffic in Dulbourne Street. (Blame for this goes to 'Transco' for their ill-thought-out gridlock-inducing roadworks at the bottom of St. Boring Street.)
Kudos though to the driver for later taking a cunning alternative route along Dulne Bank rather than the traffic-choked Dulchester Station Road.

AM: A1. DTD 38 minutes.
PM: No data (walked home voluntarily).

AM: A1 - DTD 38 minutes.
PM: C6 - bus to Dulchester Station not only arrived 15 minutes late, but improperly terminated early at Dulchester Bus Station. Walked home from there, DTD 69 minutes.

AM: B1, excellent journey, arrived 3 minutes early. DTD time 38 minutes.
PM: C2, some traffic in Queen Dull Street and Dulchester Station Road. DTD 57 minutes.

AM: Class D Type 2 - heavy rain, took 4 cycles of lights to get onto the roundabout at Dulchester Station. Door-to-door time 60 minutes.
PM: Class D Type 6 - first bus didn't turn up, walked home from Dulchester Bus Station as I could see that Queen Dull Street was choked with traffic. Door-to-door time 66 minutes.

Dulchester Bus Journey Ratings

Type 1 = Excellent - Departs and arrives exactly on time, smooth ride, friendly driver, skilful driving, patience with passengers.
Type 2 = Good - Departs on time to within a minute or so.
Type 3 = Acceptable - Departs 5 minutes late, taciturn driver.
Type 4 = Bad - Departs 10 minutes late, jerky ride, hostile driver.
Type 5 = Terrible - Departs 15 minutes late, an abysmal experience altogether.
Type 6 = Transport failure - bus doesn't turn up at all, bus comes too early, bus doesn't stop to let people on, bus stops short of its proper destination, driver refuses ticket.

A Type 6 journey usually results in walking instead, but is so rated even if the passenger is able to complete their journey on a later bus.

Dulchester Traffic Ratings

Class A = Excellent - suspiciously light or fast-moving traffic.
Class B = Better than normal - short queues or moving traffic.
Class C = Usual - queue lengths or traffic speed are as expected.
Class D = Bad - queues longer, progress slower than usual.
Class E = Terrible - enormous queues, excruciatingly slow progress.
Class F = Transport Failure - not moving at all.

Class E traffic makes it as quick, or quicker, to walk. Class F traffic makes it reasonable to abandon your journey.
