    Bee Network service changes

    Maybe not the right thread for this post but anyway, had a ride on the 362 Wigan - Chorley a few weeks ago & from quick observation the service feels a ton more reliable now it's operated from Wigan depot than it ever was when Arriva operated the service, as Arriva operated the 362 from Bolton...

    Most "interesting" bus company for workings

    Arriva Merseyside 407 West Kirby - Liverpool is one of my local routes, the 407 interworks with the 471 / 472 Liverpool - Heswall, one bus then goes onto 423 Liverpool - Seacombe it's always the 18.03, 423 from Liverpool to Seacombe. A couple of other routes from Arriva Merseyside Birkenhead...

    Football

    Yeah, fans of clubs in EFL League 1 & EFL League 2 widely boycott the EFL Trophy, after EFL allowed Premier League & Championship clubs to play their academy teams in the competition, Wycombe got a crowd attendance of 769 at Adams Park, for their EFL Trophy Quarter Final match vs Brighton U21, &...

    Night buses outside of London

    The all night buses in Liverpool (86 / 86A) have been withdrawn (i don't think they restarted after covid), although Stagecoach started an N1 Allerton - Birkenhead last December but that only operates Thursday night / Friday morning to Saturday night / Sunday morning

    £2 fare - but what next?

    Because before the cap, single fares outside London were higher, as they are set by the bus operator, & not a organisation like TFL, a single journey in some areas could cost well over £3, Merseyside is keeping the £2 fare cap when the £2 fare cap ends, largely due to finding from Merseytravel &...

    Football

    TNS are an English team (based in Oswestry) but play in the Welsh leagues, given the Scottish Challenge Cup is run by the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL), it's awkward picking a stadium closer to Wales given the geography of Scotland, given SPFL would want the final at a venue in...

    Football

    All the fuss over the flag on the new England kits, but thing that's been missed are the kit prices, £124.99 for an adult shirt, £119.99 for kids shirt, for the players version, even replica shirts are quite pricey now, & the authorities wonder why sites selling fake kits like DHgate do well.

    Bee Network service changes

    The 10 / 10A really should be renumbered to 600 / 601 as that's what the numbers were before Stagecoach changed them Oh 7 should be 540, the 8 / 598, & the 9 / 659 if they went back to the old numbers, here's a Wigan South map from 2014 with the old number system...

    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    It is because of the distance between the concourse & platforms, plus that you have to go down the ramp to the platforms, & with trains being called often minutes before departure, oh & add in the concourse at Euston is quite small for a major terminus too, that's the cause of the issues at Euston.

    Should you inform your employer of being arrested?

    Some jobs require a great deal of honesty & integrity, so some employees could find themselves on the end of a disciplinary case with potential for being fired from the job if they don't inform their employer of any infringement even if they weren't arrested. I'm reminded of the infamous...

    Liverpool-Chester-Crewe ticket query

    That's not a bad idea, but wouldn't you have issues breaking at Chester on the outward leg of the ticket, as Chester has barriers? 1710767487 Before the Halton Curve was reopened, would the via Runcorn, be via Runcorn then Runcorn East, rather than going via Crewe, although passengers would...

    Liverpool-Chester-Crewe ticket query

    Yes you will have issues using a Liverpool - Chester ticket returning via Crewe, i think that ticket is not valid via Crewe. One ticket that is valid for that type of journey is a Cheshire Day Ranger, not valid until after 9am Monday to Friday though, but is valid anytime weekends & Bank Holidays
