Lothian X15s are a bit of a sod for time keeping. Half hourly service but once Morningside gets busy 10+ late by the time I crosses the bypass is normal, that then impacts the return into town and it starts to snowball. Normally just in the peak starting with the 14:30 from town slowly increasing lateness through to end of service. Worst ive seen is the last one 45 minutes late into Penicuik.

During the fringe it was even worse with the whole day service being completely shot, X15 Penicuik Potluck is the reputation it earned. Cases of 2 running together were the norm with short turn rounds on the inbound service at Tollcross.

Stagecoach 101 Northbound seems to be poor for timekeeping as well.

Its hard to tell on 22/26 in Edinburgh but cases of 2/3 running together are common.

Observations also seem to see regular +10 running on the 275 at Edinburgh Park.

And you could probably write a book on late buses in Livingston, inlaws live out there and they basically head for the stop and cross fingers and the timetable may as well be in dutch compare to what actually runs apparently
