    May as well be fcukin stage-coaches they put on... absolute ball-ache, joke of of a service.
    Been stood waiting since 15.15 for the 15.24. Never showed.
    The 15.31 perhaps? No show.
    The 15.43, no chance.
    The 15.52 then? Nope.
    I am now waiting for the 16.02, as are 26 other people!
    And there have been 6 buses the other way.
    Good job I have until 5pm to get to my destination. Good job I know just what a ***** service it is, otherwise Id be kicking the **** out of the bus-stop, as the kids next me are doing...
    Would never happen if they were striking. Always on time then.
    £9 an hour my fat sweaty arse.
    Good day, and up the reds

    No 6 bus goes past my house - 'every ten mins'. No faith in it after 3-4pm so will just walk to town. Interestingly (or do I mean it's arip-off) how its £1.30 to get on at first stop, or last. £2.30 return but I soon realised the final two buses on a Tuesday match day never operate.

    Worth raising it with Stagecoach. I did when me and pregnant misses missed last bus. Got two free monthly passes. Companies hate problems and do anything to keep you quiet. Ha

    Number 57/59.
    And I wasnt having a go purely at the drivers, but Stagecoach. And when a bus finally showed - at 16.19 - another 2 were right behind it.
    I got on it, and asked him if there had been an accident. He said "why??" and I told him we've been ere over an hour and no bus showed, yet the other direction had loads.
    He said "bit of traffic, dunno c0ck.."
    .
    Anyhoo, off to the game... ON FOOT ;)

    Not the drivers fault only the nasty bully boy company headed by Mr.Souter. Another Thatcher legacy.

    Stagecoach take everyone for a ride, if you pardon the pun.

    The transport executive should take all their routes away.

    Whitey i personally did 3 57's this afternoon at 12 35 13 35 and 14 35 so th etimetable said but i'm sure you've noticed the abortion of road works in Burton Rd which can hold us up 4 or 5 mins each way so on a return journey do the maths and it can delay the bus 8 or 9 mins. In my case 3 journeys x 8 or 9 mins. so the $64,000 question how the hell or we supposed to keep to time in those circumstances. I await your suggestions.
