Nonetheless I've submitted already. If Metrobus adds a Question 9 in I'll just have to DM him the answer to that separately.

Couple of questions I'm not sure about:

Question 2: Could buses that are no longer in the fleet be used?
Question 16: If the routes meet up at a town centre or bus station, do they have to serve the same stop it can it be different stops in the same location?

Please could you clarify these? Thanks
