@BrumCityGuy @EE @virginmedia @O2 EE will be using the openreach infrastructure, which Virgin definitely doesn't. O2, Sky, and obviously BT also all use the openreach cables. The door to door person is almost definitely not an EE employee but a commission only 3rd party contractor, and not very capable

@travelWESTeng no updates on website or here, but 635 to Chippenham seems to be non existent. Any idea if its actually coming?

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West Maybe tweet something like "due to the closure to the A419, the 51 is on diversion and journeys will take longer"

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West thanks for the heads up about the 51 going some mad route after South Cerney. No tweet and nothing on the website

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@thebiglemon any idea when the X10 from Clevedon is actually gonna come?

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West I know that. My question was why? People still need to get to places at normal weekday times

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West why is today a Saturday service?? It's a normal working day!

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@FirstBSA what is going on with X4 service today. First double decker at Anchor Road full, next is a single decker, also full. Why a single decker?? I see no service update that would give rise to these being so full

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West can you see a problem with this photo? I'll give you a clue - this timetable is over a year old. How long does it take to come and replace it with the correct one?

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@FirstBSA I was heading towards Emersons

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@FirstBSA is it standard for bus drivers to ignore a hail at a bus stop. The 48x driver just sealed past despite me waving and him seeing me. Cabot Circus stop

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West So am I supposed to check the website daily to check for updates? Why was there no announcements on the bus? I should point out that on Thursday and Saturday I waited a reasonable amount of time at Swindon bus station by the stop for the 51. Surely something could have been there

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West thanks for updating the timetable at the bus stop leading me to completely kiss the bus following the timetable update 🤦‍♂️. Going to be hours late for work now

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@Stagecoach_West 51 from South Cerney to Swindon. Last week the bus was at 6.36. This week 6.13. However no notices on the 2 bus stops I waited at on Thursday and Saturday and no announcements on the bus, so I had no idea the timetable had changed. And 1 of those bus stops still had the old tt

@Haveawordpod the phrase about customers is "the customer is always right, in matters of taste". It's about their choices of style etc

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@FirstBSA Stop C9 in Bristol, heading towards Portishead. 12.20ish service

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

@FirstBSA do you train your drivers to ignore passengers waiting at bus stops who've waved at them? Or is just the X4 bus driver who decided not to stop?

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

.@TfL what on earth is going on with the 85 bus? Waiting at Putney Bridge for over half an hour for service that is every 7 to 10 minutes!!

[Ian Aspinall @aspy24]

.@TfL stellar service on the 85 bus route again tonight. 2 buses at Putney Heath that I couldn't get on, then got turfed off the next halfway along the journey. Waiting a long time for the rest of the Kingston bound journey...
