At least when they all merged, it did away with 'staircasing'. I assume that that was a nationwide problem. On some of our routes, we would start or finish the run on routes which were common to the 'town buses', the cagey ones would hang back before joining a main road to give us time to get ahead and pick up people doing short to middling journies and when we had a standing load, ( at peak times), they would go on past, whilst we gradually disgorged the locals, trouble was, it meant at times, that people who needed the Rural bus for their longer journey, were left, as it was full before they got aboard, they would do the same on our return runs as well sometimes. (staircasing, from the days of all backloaders).
