    Made up excuses for lateness

    This is the best of the Reggie Perrin ones "Seventeen minutes late, water seeping through the cables at Effingham Junction - there was a lot of Effingham and a good deal of Blindingham!" :E

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    Yeah, i had a look in my local Tesco Express & the price is £2.10 for 500ml bottle of Diet Coke, £1.85 is the Tesco Extra/online price, i only buy the 500ml bottles as part of the meal deal anyway.

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    The boundary extension to Chester not being included on Merseytravel tickets is because both routes are not operated by Metro.

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    Isn't the 347 a Lancashire County Council tendered route, it was operated by Stagecoach until a couple of years ago, but Merseytravel tickets should be valid between Southport & Crossens, i would raise a complaint about this.

    The worst TV series finale

    Agree with Only Fools And Horses, they had the perfect end in 96, then brought it back with the 01 to 03 trilogy, & it was a complete anti climax, no Uncle Albert & no Mike as the actors who played them had died, coupled with one of the most ridiculous plots to go with it. The Green Green...

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    Perfect example is my local Tesco, 500ml bottle of Diet Coke is around £1.85 now o_O, but they have the clubcard offer at the moment for the 2ltr bottle of Diet Coke for £1.50.

    Express coach proposed for north to south Wales link

    The timetable has appeared on bustimes.org in the new TaithCymru section https://bustimes.org/operators/taithcymru 1791722268 My main takes. It goes to/from Bangor station not the City Centre, which is disappointing given it has about an hour on layover in Bangor, it is a bit of a hike from...

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    The Christmas Day services all call at the Hospitals so useful for visitors, on Wirral only the 410 & H2 (former 118) operated. What Boxing Day/New Years Day services are going to be like, Arriva/Stagecoach operated most services from 7am until 6pm to 8pm, with Metro now operating them will...

    Express coach proposed for north to south Wales link

    That makes it more farcical, when 2 operators Crosville/Western Welsh operated the old Traws Cambria service back in the day it was the drivers that changed coaches at Newtown/Aberystwyth, coaches still travelled through, i'll say it again, with the hoops you have to go through to use it...

    Express coach proposed for north to south Wales link

    Cannot see this service doing well with so many hoops to go through to use it, Bangor to Aberystwyth fare is £4 single on the T2, & this service will be more than double the fare for that journey, although it's up to an hour quicker.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    Having a quick look on National Express Liverpool-London route for 13th/14th October (i'm not making the trip just intrigued what the fares are & comparing it to Flixbus), fares for the daytime coaches are £9.40 single, were as the 01.45 service it's £28.40 which is a bit steep, most journey's...

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    22/22A/X22 West Kirby-Chester operated by Als, that's a Cheshire West & Chester contract, & 811 Moreton-Broughton

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    It'd be the same rules with the cross boundary routes operated by St Helens depot

    Stagecoach North Scotland (Bluebird and Highland)

    Just messing on bustimes.org, just spotted a 10 the 19.45 Aberdeen to Forres going through Huntly 4 hours late, seems to have had an issue in Blackburn
