    Challenges

    So, sorry if I'm in the wrong place. I was in Buxton recently and noticed the service through to Stockport and Manchester airport. It got me thinking of doing a challenge, but in a change from the usual Land's End to John o' Groats, I thought about a East to West Coast in a day service. I've...

    Bus Enthusiast Etiquette.

    Likewise though, quite a lot of drivers give you a little friendly wave or a nod which you don't see until you have the photos downloadeded. This must make some photographers appear quite rude.

    Bus Enthusiast Etiquette.

    Websites and apps that have a bus tracker that shows the reg number or fleet number of the vehicles.

    Good to see York up. That will really help me if I ever get out of lockdown. I notice that First South Yorkshire has lost all Sheffield routes (only showing Doncaster). The tracker didn't work on their depot anyway sadly.

    If you could create any direct services which currently don’t run which would you choose?

    I'd love to see more UK > Europe options, though I appreciate might not be possible. - It reduces air pollution - Overnight sleepers would be great for longer journeys - Better environment for passengers than a plane (not tied to your seat). I'm sure we were also led to believe that we'd be...

    Would a line from Sheffield to Stocksbridge be viable? And will it happen (even if not viable!)...

    I suspect its down to load. Try in an hour and it'll be reight. (and don't unnecessarily refresh as I suspect that may be a major issue for the owners).

    I hasn't realised that any First Group operators were on the incomplete list. This is fantastic.

    Does anyone know if a similar service is available for Malta? They have an app, but I can't see a way to see the fleet.
