bus corgi

Unofficial watchdog for public transport. Likes buses the most. Dislikes cars and cats. Favourite possession - a Corgi model bus of course!

Fantastic news - Station Jim is back at @GWRHelp Slough Station looking very smart and proud. I hope you had a relaxing time away at the ‘health spa’ @stationjim. I was starting to worry that something terrible had happened to you.

I'm interested to know what sort of collaboration @RexLondonUK had with @TfL when creating their "Transport for London Routemaster collection". I can't see any Routemaster buses! Just images of back-to-front buses inspired by images of older London buses. https://t.co/DId2dKvZyo

@pam66473452 @GoWhippet @CambsPboroCA @NikJohnsonCA Sounds more like ‘no driver available’ to me, unless the breakdown is preventing another bus from departing the bus depot for the rest of the evening. But then that would mean other buses couldn’t get into the bus depot, so one of those could be used.

@BusAndTrainUser I’m not sure that will solve it, as Grosvenor Place is the boundary and is therefore free to use. How about extending the zone to cover all roads as far as the North and South Circulars?

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@firstberkshire I think you mean route 8, not 7.

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@TfL @itsvickyh The 442 to Stanwell Moor is not a TfL service. Looking at the list of improvements to Heathrow, only the SL7 is a service provided by TfL.

@mod_in_metro I think that’s actually a building for the railway, rather than the bus station. Something to do with Stansted Express?

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@GWRHelp It’s single track, so there’s only one line.

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@railair Why not say ‘we’re making improvements to the RA2 timetable’? This is good news!

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@KevinLucioni3 @MichaelTrewYork @BusAndTrainUser I think you’ll find the 702 was saved by First. I remember their Rainbow Fares, which according to press reports, transformed the financial performance of the service. And their Twin-Decks. The closing of their base in Bracknell was the route (pun) cause of the decline.

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@GWRHelp Oh, all lines? It’s been single track for many years.

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@GWRHelp Last time I looked, there’s only one line between Bourne End and Marlow. Why not change your messages to say ‘no trains can operate between these stations’ instead of implying to those who are unfamiliar, that all GWR lines are blocked across the entire network?

@johnbickerton Pantone Warm Red would have been a better choice for a hot drink.

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@HoKitLam And the 2 won’t be serving Datchet from 2 April.

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@HoKitLam A nice attempt at creating a diagram that combines most services in Slough. The direction of the loop for route 7 at Britwell is the wrong way around.

@MarcMorganHuws FFS! I don’t envy the locals.

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@LeonDaniels A friend of a friend has just told me that the 60 is missing, so I’ve had another look and I cannot see it either! It all happens so quickly, but I know it should appear before the 62 (which I know well, as it goes to Barking!).

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@creatingdesire Elf and safety?

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@nickbowes1975 @GarethDennis @cnbcwatcher90 What’s confusing about this?

[bus corgi @buscorgi]

@railair @Acrosby_sl6 It may not be that expensive. Those prices are for the journey all the way from Heathrow to Reading.
