Paul, Did you not mean to say 2756 not 2766 (Willian points out that 2766 is a Renown).Easibus 643 was working the 15.00 to Creggan. I don't know why not doing the usual duties, maybe they wanted extra standing space later on in the evening. 2756 wouldn't have been able to get into some of the homes in the Waterside also, when I seen 2756 (@ approx. 15.35) it was stopped at the set of traffic lights at Myra's on the Culmore Road which is unusual as only the Sandbank route uses this part of the road. It must have been avoiding the town as it was very busy on Friday.
The only routes that have to miss a part of the route when it worked by anything bigger than a minibus are Kilfennan and Sandbank Park. Kilfennan misses Lincon Courts and Sandbank misses Earheart (prounced 'airheart') Park.
