Its no better here in Stoke, we have First and D&G. The local council pumps money into them constantly to just to get them to keep running the services they barely do at the moment and they wonder why everyone drives


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Quoted from Kris2
Some of the drivers are jerks in general around the area. Had a huge argument with one who didn't stop at my stop after I pushed the bell, the sign for "stopping" was lit up but he carried on driving and I stumbled forward to get off at the next available with my pretty dodgy knees. The driver insisted I didn't push the button and argued the entire time with me, said that he looked at me to see if I was getting up and didn't...Yes because of pain in my knees due to an old injury and arthritis I prefer to wait until the bus has stopped so I sat expecting him to stop and not speed past my stop. It was his attitude and defensiveness more than anything, if he'd had said he made a mistake that would have been the end but it's like he was enjoying shouting me down when I complained he missed my stop even though I pressed the bell.

I'm sure most buses have signs advising you to remain seated until the bus stops.

The Stagecoach app is a right mess as regards Willows/Wybers and the No 6. Although you can track the bus on the app map it never appears at the upcoming arrivals at the app stops even when you can physically see the bus! I went to the depot yesterday to point this out and a rep there said to ring customer services which is based in Perth, Scotland. When I pointed out if he could contact them through the company he said that that was their only way to highlight problems as well! Totally crazy when a company as large as that has no internal mechanism to deal with a simple problem.

Drivers are leaving Stagecoach all the time locally. Seems they aren't a great company to work for and can the drivers earn more with far less hassle delivering food. They have been missing buses out of the timetable for months now and as it takes ages to train drivers up I don't expect any changes any time soon. Public transport is in a he'll of a mess in this country.


Worst Group are supposed to provide most of the services in Donny. In the 19 years I've lived in Thorne I've seen a rapid reduction in services from six an hour to two going into town. It becomes one an hour in the evening. Every timetable normally sees a further reduction.

Couple that with the hourly train service from Thorne North reduced and no trains until at least December from Thorne South. That will be a year without trains from the latter.

As for getting over to GY, TPE are an utter disgrace.

Be grateful you don,t live in Grantham. Centre Buses are pants. No buses after 6pm, no buses on Sundays. When they miss a bus out it is an hour between buses on main routes. Work in the town centre and you often can,t get home as last bus is missed out regularly.

Anyway don,t worry the Government  are going to level things out.

Bring back Cleethorpes Transport and run it
from Pelham Road'

My dad and his his family put in 200 years between
them on the horse trams' the trams, trolley buses and
the diesels in their days.

On a Saturday afternoon there would be more than
twenty ' footy specials' parked outside BP waiting to
take the fans home.

Oh, and about forty drivers and their conductors on
the Constitutional End terraces cheering on the Town.

On duty or not dad hardly ever missed a game.  Those were the days !

Why are the country short of bus drivers? And HGV drivers? And skilled jobs in a whole raft of Industries.

What happened? Why didn’t somebody warn people it would happen?
