    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

    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

    London Buses Discussion

    It's not really a big deal the bus station part of Liverpool Street is light on services, when you have plenty of services the otherside of Liverpool Street station on Bishopsgate.

    London Buses Discussion

    What's the most awkward located depot, (i think i may have asked this question before) as i'm looking on Google Earth, & Arriva's Edmonton depot has to be one of them, situated between 2 rivers, the road in & out feels like a canal towpath, looks just wide enough for one vehicle that you hope...

    BusTimes.Org

    One thing i do find really annoying with bustimes.org when looking to see if a service is on time, they only show the last stop the service called at, you have to click on, show previous stops, to bring up the whole route, i rather they showed previous stops from the start without having to...

    More issues with overcrowding preventing children getting to school.

    One route in my area 20 years ago had gaps in the timetable to accommodate a school run, this is the route, note the gap in the timetable & a couple of journey's terminated early, the only one that wasn't was the early evening short so that could run back dead to the depot...

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    Here's a daft situation, the 417 is going to have an evening & Sunday service but the 416/416A will only operate Monday to Saturday, but they operate a circular from Clatterbridge via Raby Mere, Eastham Rake, Bromborough Cross & Spital, so you have the 417 going one way but no 416/416A & that is...

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    If deckers were unsafe using the Queensway tunnel they'd be banned long before now, also single decks are just as wide as deckers nowadays so they'd be banned too, it's a load of nonsense being posted that deckers are unsafe in the Queensway tunnel, as i've been on deckers through both tunnels...
