I’ve seen cancellations displayed on the displays at Halifax Bus Station In terms of delays, doesn’t it rely on the operators sending data that links trips together into the running boards. As it’s a bus station everything starts there so nothing is running late at that point but the previous...

I think people would start hating the station extension if every or most trip started diverting via it It was supposed to create new links not make existing links worse

For the First one, like above you could start at Swanage rather than Portland Also from Taunton you can get to Bristol and then wherever the furthest extremity is in the First West of England network

I’ve had an email saying that my local Brewers Fayre will be turning into a Premier inn Restaurant only serving hotel guests Presumably it will be a cut back restaurant with some space converted to rooms

I presumed they might have been done like this to save paper The 60 for example tells you departures from Keighley, Leeds and in both directions from Shipley The 36 has Leeds, Ripon and both ways from Harrogate Anywhere else you have to guess Coastliner has 10 panels which could probably...

I’m not a fan of the latest printed timetables that have appeared recently They’ve stopped containing full timetables and instead are just lists of departures from principal locations Someone has probably decided that customers can’t read proper timetables, which is probably true, but it’s a...

If they’d had their time again I’m not sure the almost complete removal of the heritage trams was a good idea. Back in the day people would use the tram just for a ride even if they didn’t have anywhere to go. Now it’s purely a public transport link, and an inadequate crowded one at that, that...

There are clearly numerous examples of Go Cornwall services that are extracting revenue from First’s commercial services Look at the 56. That should have been given to First as part of a ‘de minimis’ award so the 56 and the Atlantic Coaster would be one and the same. The corridor can’t justify...

Surely strike action will just add to the financial difficulties? The bus industry isn’t like the rail industry. GWR could be on strike for 52 weeks and we know jobs or services wouldn’t be affected afterwards. Whereas bus operations could be completely closed down and services could be...

Will First’s income have been dented by the various cheaper fares initiatives, both the national £2 and the TfC cheaper fares or are they adequately compensated? Until 2019 fares were on the high side, I’m sure day tickets used to be at least £10 Whereas it might be true that Somerset is...

I hope there isn’t loads of kids considering it’s the school term

I have noticed a shift with enthusiasts in many threads An odd working used to be interesting, either to ride or to photo Now there has to be an inquest launched with dramatic doom laden tales

Are you sure it isn’t weather related? Looking at some previous dates, the ATLA had a full complement of open toppers other days none? It seems unlikely there would fluctuate from 100% availability to 0% availability

Why do they store surplus buses on the IOW? Imagine all the fees for the ferry

Is a better low/mid season frequency on the LAND service - hourly Penzance to Lands End but every 2 hours over the rest of it (or at least the Lands End to St Ives middle bit) As surely most passengers use it to get to lands end. St Ives passengers will mostly use the 17

In regards to the stairs and the equipment that is stored under them, I wish ADL would work to resolve the issue where the front offside seats are just basic pads rather than a proper seat Looks odd when it’s a highly specced bus with luxury seating and that offside seat is so basic On B7TLs...

They tweeted this morning that the 890 Truro College service wasn’t running due to a vehicle issue I wonder how that works, do the kids just not go to college that day? I presume the outstations don’t carry spares just the required number needed

People board at the harbour because they got off at the harbour If full sized buses were more frequent and they were dropped off at the Old Coastguards, they’d probably walk back up there to go back Im not sure the frequency is anything to do with it, as it doesn’t take long for more than 17...

I had a ride on the MOUSE today and my conclusion is that it isn’t working, the buses are too small The vehicle was full to the rafters, there must have been 10 people stood up in the aisle, and it’s only June. It wasn’t very enjoyable. In my opinion, they should do one of the following: -...

There seems to be a strange situation where there is no Orange Juice on offer at Premier Inn’s I stayed at one where it had been substituted with ‘tropical juice’ (hastily written in pen on the place mat the jug was on), so I thought it was a one off I stayed later at another hotel and it was...
