The 4.15 to Lone Moor is not a minibus run and hasn't been for some time. It appears on a big bus shift (Duty 36 I think). It is one of many examples where the big bus covers what might normally be a minibus route. Other examples are 10.30 to Creggan 13.40 to Woodbrook 14.00/14.30 to Creggan I have noted Renown 2843 doing the 4.15 to Lone Moor so it is not necessarily a run where they shove some Bristol on just for the sake of having a bus. Big Buses are not used because demand is high (with the exception of the 1500,1620,1700,1720 and 1740 to Kilfennan where a minibus could not cope with demand) they are used to make up time on big bus duties where it might be impractical for a minibus duty.
