@BeeNetwork Thank you. They have eased up on the criminality now but are sill acting in a way which is really quite intimidating.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork bus 11507, 98 headong to Bury currently in Lower Broughton. Loads of teens upstairs at the back banging windows, smoking weed and shouting antisemitic comments at people outside the bus. Is anyone available to have a word?

@BeeNetwork why is the app so bad with the 98 bus at Shudehill? The app is fine getting into Manchester but not back. Just spent well over an hour at a cold bus stop waiting for buses on the app that never arrive. I would have got a tram and walked if the app wasn't full of bs.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork Is the metrolink still down on the bury line. Just seen a Bury via Victoria tram pull into Shudehill from my place in the queue for the 98.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@MancLibraries Seriously? An ABBA gig which can be heard clear as day in the reading room even though it's on a different floor?

I know libraries do more than silent work spaces but this is defying the point of having a silent reading room which is the whole reason I am here.

@TSHubsBF As I take 10 mins away from writing my submission I want to know...who the hell schedules an assessment window for a qualification taken more or less exclusively by teachers in the second week of September...

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork A story in real time. What's happened to the 98? Any point waiting at this stop?

It's not OK. Don't have the little symbol saying it's tracked if it's not.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork why do buses keep disappearing from your app?

Just been waiting for the 98 at Shudehill. Disappears, next one due in an hour. It's meant to be a once every 30min bus. Where is it?

I just don't trust this thing anymore. Onto the tram it is.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork there's a pigeon which seems to be dying between the track and the Bury platform at Heaton Park, towards the end of the platform with the steps.

Can someone please do whatever needs to be done? (And never tell me what was decided)

Thanks

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@loosecannonxiv @elizabethkaiixx @nocapmedia @grok Of course.

I was kicking myself knowing that first sign and couldn't remember. And sea makes well more sense than spread out.

I need to get myself back on a course.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@WhiteDecay @elizabethkaiixx @nocapmedia @grok Some of it is BSL fingerspelling

My BSL is bad, but it looks like

(stuck on index finger going around the other)

A-T (A= point at thumb, T point to side of hand)
Spread out
T-R-E-K (T, R = curled finger on palm. E = point to index finger, K = one index finger bent on the other

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork Warnings don't detail affected stops. Put the section below (which is on the website) on the app

There should still be a notice on the stop. Better still, a "next bus" indicator. London, Reading and Nottingham have had them for years

Many don't, or can't, check apps every time

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork 98 isn't serving the Coronation Rd Estate in Radcliffe even though the app says it is.

You too can watch the minutes count down on the App until the bus fails to arrive.

A sign on the stop wouldn't go amiss for those people not addicted to their phones too.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BeeNetwork Why not just put this on the app?

To have an app saying 'bus due at this stop in 4mins", with no signage at the bus stop. Would you scroll through that webpage every time you needed a bus?

Not to mention it's not inclusive for those without phones or in areas of poor signal.

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@fesshole Teacher - getting the same way

Doing your best to help in a flawed system seems incomprehensible to many. The workers must be villians

So many think all teachers are lazy bullies who don't care and just indoctrinate Marxism into kids

I suspect coppers get it bad too

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@BritishGas ate being rubbish at cutomer service

They ring to ask for feedback. The scale changes so sometimes 0 is the lowest and sometimes 1, but it doesn't recognise me saying one and disconnects

Thats one way to inflate your numbers

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@jakharpardeep Sat on those steps enough to tell you that is Bolton...

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret @Scaramucci Republicans said is undemocratic to change the nominee at this point - that the votes and donations were for Biden, party members won't be able to have a say and it'll just be the party elite

Is there a way around this, and how much are people actually going to care about this?

[Jack Lapsley @JackLapsley5]

@RestIsPolitics @RestPoliticsUS Just a little bit...

I think I want 3 tbh. A TRIP, a TRIPUS and then one with them all together.
