..I was reading the blurb about their new routes .. maximum buses busiest routes, busiest times =££££ and referred to 'turn up and go'..what did you do before like, check in your carrier bags, wait two hours and motor down to the shopping centre? Who thinks em up ..? :roll:

it is chaos
nobody knows what bus to get to go where they want to be

the improvements include people in marlowe road wanting to be at asda waiting 30 minutes for a bus that used to be every 15 minutes

people wanting the gillens arms at clavering going on a tour of the estate before getting there

people getting took to the shops at wynyard road but cant get a bus home

and the drivers getting the backlash rage

I have to use them ocassionally .I can't remember one ever being on time ,can bus drivers read the lips of passengers they are just about to pick up no6 ?, for instance "here it fkk is at last" etc ..

How does the taste of the windows compare to other buses?

It's all about returns, if you run the most buses on the busiest rotes at the busiest times and get rid of all the ones that don't make a big enough profit, you're quids in... and having a near monopoply helps no end.

Arriva have tendered for the evening services which Stagecoach have de-registered and won the council subsidy to run the service. The buses and Drivers are all Arrivas.

Walking is for the puffs and the bennys

Get yourself a motor, it’s the forward....

In all seriousness, I don't know how anyone can manage in Hartlepool without a car

OK, I know loads do, but the services are shite, overpriced and stop far too early

If you need to go anywhere after 9pm, especially out of town, you are more or less fooked

Right well i did put a message up saying i was learning to drive, so you know, read it!!

And i walk to work and live pretty central to the town so walk there and stuff.

I'm sure when i pass and get a car i'll change.

Her indoors has a car so if we go anywhere she drives.

It's not easy getting someone to do it for you, but it saves on small talk :shock:
