Main feature is the seasonal increase of ULD runs.
Main feature is the seasonal increase of ULD runs.
So you;re mixing abbreviations from two different websites? How is anybody supposed to figure that out?Sorry, it's a mix of "LD" from the AU forum and "ULH" from the Airliners forum. So ULD is Ultra-Long-Distance. But yeah, what they are actually going to do this summer is extend and combine a bunch of runs to make then longer.
This year the seasonal adjustments are relatively limited, as compared to previous years. Part of this is the fixed capacity/reserved seating strategy and the fact that they will add planned sections online. Only the actual schedules that are written in the bid are shown on the Timetable.I just took a cursory look at a few of the new tables, and all I can say is .......I am underwhelmed...
When you compare the current offering with the summer timetables of the sixties and seventies, they are but a pale shadow, at best.
I can't believe they still only offer basically four trips a day from Chicago to/from the East, as just one example. But then again, since they have eliminated two entire transcon routes (CHI-MSP-SEA and CHI-OMA-west coast), Chicago is no longer the main 'hub' it once was...
At least, here in New York State, we have added some good additional express trips...
Ricky,Looks like the same lousy service up here in the Pacific Northwest and still no Greyhound Express service.
Maybe that's the way the First Group management believes: "That's what's good for business"....but I believe the men that made GL what is was (may they RIP), would think differently. A lot.....This year the seasonal adjustments are relatively limited, as compared to previous years.

Truthfully, BoltBus seems to be picking Greyhound's pocket in the Seattle-Portland market.Ricky,Looks like the same lousy service up here in the Pacific Northwest and still no Greyhound Express service.
While I understand your perspective from the view of a customer (more options and frequency)....from GLI's point of view, they will not mess with what they have there.
Someone at GL ;probably thinks the western world revolves around Phoenix.....reminds me of the former Continental Trailways VP and General Manager at Denver years ago....he convinced the authority at Dallas to route all but one Omaha-Salt Lake City schedules thru Denver, instead of the faster direct route thru Cheyenne.I still don't understand why Greyhound has nothing between Kingman and Los Angeles.
I've definitely noticed this - the 6:35AM PGH-PHL-NYC express (3237) that was reduced last year to only run Fri-Sun, doesn't show on the timetable at all. Same goes for 3208, its counterpart leaving NYC at 8am.This year the seasonal adjustments are relatively limited, as compared to previous years.
