Skipping Stotts

This account documents times that Stotts buses skip out sections of the routes, stranding passengers.

If Stotts didn't skip, this account wouldn't exist

Well, the end of @BusesOldham is near. Many are disappointed by this, and I can see why.

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@WC2512 @FAIRYCAINE_1 @BeeNetwork @gnwbus @BusesOldham my agenda has always been to have my local bus follow the correct route whenever possible i am still yet to experience a bee bus skip my estate yet had encountered stotts skipping hundreds of times

ive gone quiet because stotts havent existed for almost 2 months now

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@edwardbdart @WC2512 @BeeNetwork @AndyBurnhamGM I didn't think it was possible to get sacked from Stotts tbh 🤣

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@edwardbdart @WC2512 @BeeNetwork @AndyBurnhamGM Although in the case of the Bee Network it turns out the grass is greener because buses on my local route are finally always running, mostly turning up near enough on time and the only time any stops are missed is when it's a new driver who doesn't know the route yet!

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@WillB32146246 Glad to hear you are working on becoming a better person 👍

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

The time has come!

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@WillB32146246 Is that a threat?

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@Sc0tty99 Do you not have anything better to do other than slagging off the Bee Network whilst complaining about how other people (me) spend their own time 🤣

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@Sc0tty99 I actually made that list whilst waiting at a bus stop for a Stotts bus to turn up, only to find out that it had skipped

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

Well thats the end of @BusesOldham all buses are now out of service.

I did hope that for once we could have a day where all Stotts buses follow the route, but unfortunately that hasn't happened.

So, for the last time I have made a list of Stotts buses which skipped

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@FAIRYCAINE_1 @BusesOldham Looking on the tracker, the bus is currently 30 minutes late on it's previous run. I think there is a lot of traffic or something near Grotton

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@WC2512 I can understand why you thought it was my local I did use that route a lot as my grandparents live along it

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@WC2512 Anyway, looking at the tracker, the 364 has been running 40 mins late and skipping this week so not sure what you mean by "stotts ran on time easily"

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@WillB32146246 I doubt our paths will ever cross

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@Circle_5000 Stotts should be running a full service, but they do have a long history of missing parts of the route and even entire trips for no good reason. So (although I would love to be proven wrong) with it being the final day of Stotts, it is likely that many buses will not turn up

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

Same as normal then?

[Stotts Buses (Oldham) @BusesOldham]

Morning, services are out on route, but due to weather/road conditions, services will not be servicing side roads. There may also be delays @BeeNetwork

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@StephensOl86283 Because I am sick and tired of walking in the freezing cold and rain just because the Stotts can't be arsed having their buses follow the designated route that TFGM pays them for

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

this is the worst skipping ive ever seen from Stotts

(exluding when they skip entire trips)

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

@StephensOl86283 It wasn't a diversion. The bus litterally went the right way?

[Skipping Stotts @SkippingStotts]

last day of 151 cancellations. Back to hourly on Monday!

[Stotts Buses (Oldham) @BusesOldham]

Morning , Services not operating all day (start time for time table reference).Apologies.
