Yes, I have been following it.
I've never done a transfer to the B gates before, and was wondering the best and fastest way to do it.
Also, if anyone knows, is B10 a bus gate also?

Nope, no security.
Again, I do think this isn't as bad as it seems. UA58 hasn't had so great punctuality stats over the past 30 days, though (or is it 60 days what Expertflyer reports?). But this may have been a bit of an exception (quite extreme weather situation in FRA in the last few weeks). Usually, a flight such as UA58 should be relatively reliable on arrival.

Parking at a bus gate on time is not the same as parking at the terminal on time. You just don't exit the aircraft, get on a bus and go. Gotta wait for the bus to fill up. Also, where are you sitting in the plane? Ideally you want to be on the first bus and definitely not the last bus as you have to wait for stragglers.

This is a widebody arriving in the morning scheduled to depart less than 3 hours later. It rarely gets a bus gate. It's monsters-under-the-bed syndrome (MUBS) to expect a bus gate.

Update
We landed at 9:18, and parked a V120. The bus picked us up at 9:28, it took about 10 minutes to get the the terminal. No line at passport control, took the tunnel to the B gates, got there 1hour before departure. The second flight was a bus to plane also .

Twice a month for the past 5 years. During the initial years I despised FRA but I have come to terms with my issues and now appreciate the gateway to Europe that FRA represents. I actually don't mind remote gates but what I can't recall is whether they use both front and rear doors to load/unload wide bodies as I am usually sitting in the front half of the aircraft and just follow masses.
