    London Buses Discussion

    London bus companies are supposed to notify TfL before doing that so the equipment can be removed. They don't always. I did know someone who's job involved chasing up those transferred buses to retrieve the kit and know that there are a lot fewer people allocated to Countdown and iBus than there...

    Last bus cancelled and no help

    I haven't needed to. I've never seen Transdev (who I tend to be using when it's late) miss a last bus, so far as I can remember. I did wonder what happens if the last bus left early.

    Bus services that enter private property (except shopping centres/supermarkets/works only)

    In the mid 90s that would be overstating it. There were a couple of dozen marked (with white paint) spots for buses to pull into. No waiting area, as such. I don't know if there was anything more substantial at any other time. I'm not sure if any particular bus had its own spot - when I went...

    I did post that link in post #4.

    Bus services that enter private property (except shopping centres/supermarkets/works only)

    Presumably the internal roads of Airedale Hospital are also owned by the hospital They're served on a loop by: 2 M4s an hour Keighley to Burnley and return 1 903 an hour in each direction Keighley to Silsden (hospital is on a section off the main route, so the buses in both directions approach...

    Ember's signs list the next stop and the final stop with estimated arrival times at both.

    Manchester disruption - correct delay repay etc?

    Was there ticket acceptance on the bus? Unless there was a train that would have got you to Warrington sooner, I'm not sure why you didn't claim for the whole journey.

    Which is fine if you don't have hearing problems.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    And, of course, that's bookable stops. So National Express services running from Bradford via Leeds mostly don't allow bookings between the two (though pre -COVID they did).

    Uno Bus

    I'd have been trying to head off questions about whether they were paying for the lost mileage.

    Uno Bus

    If I were TfL, I think I'd have made it clearer that they won't receive payments for mileage not run and, in addition, they have penalties for not meeting the target (there are bonuses for performing significantly above target, but they don't seem relevant here)

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    That's a shame. That was surprisingly good. Yes, that happened to the vodka a while ago - too many cut fingers whilst opening them.

    Preston Bus

    I'd imagine Stagecoach could get buses from elsewhere fairly easily and employ many of Preston Bus's drivers (with a reduction in duplication they shouldn't need quite as many). It's only 15 years since Stagecoach were forced to sell Preston Bus by the Competition Commission (as was).

    Bee Network Service/Route Discussion

    If there had been one, I suspect there would have been a lot of questions from people who currently have an hourly weekday service wondering why they don't deserve a Sunday service.

    Bus services that enter private property (except shopping centres/supermarkets/works only)

    When I lived in the area 1992-6 there were a couple of dozen works services run by NCT and a few variations of the 18 and 32 , run by Barton, that ran slight variations or short runs and terminated at Boots. Once I realised that it was just as convenient to do a journey by changing at Boots as...

    Nottingham City Transport

    You haven't quoted it, but it's in the post you quoted most of. You then need to do a search to get a similar list.

    Routes excluded from English fare cap where operator generally participates

    Hallmark Connections, who currently operate Heathrow Hotel Hoppa services, do not operate any routes that do accept the capped fares.

    East Yorkshire Motor Services, now part of Go-Ahead

    So children in a handful of areas. I suspect (as it's usually the case) that a large proportion of offences are committed by a tiny fraction of that group.

    On declined payment due to insufficient balance

    This isn't very clear, but TfL will not reattempt to take the money. You'll have to use your TfL card account (if you don't have one, your can create one) and there's an option there to pay any outstanding balance. If you don't pay the balance the card won't be accepted by TfL. If a card was...
