@McDonaldsUK why are orders not done in numerical order, our order number is 71 and they're giving out 85 and upwards with minimal items, are staff shy of doing an order for 6 people or something, Cornwall Services at Roche we're waiting at, shocking lack of organisation!! 🤬

@MarcMorganHuws That still on the mainland not to far from here?

@alexhornbyrail @MarcMorganHuws @creatingdesire @ltmuseum @TfL Believe that was the first big win for Grey Green in Central London tenders, recall the coaches used to frequently stop in Hatfield Peverel where I grew up as did many other coach companies on day trips to Clacton & Walton

@alexhornbyrail @MarcMorganHuws @creatingdesire @ltmuseum @TfL Back when the London bus scene was interesting

@MarcMorganHuws @BusAndTrainUser Was the Southend 99s one of Ray's as well?

@bo66ie29 @MarcMorganHuws Driven buses over that bridge many a time before the high street was pedestrianised. This footage taken before the Caters tower block was built. My parents meet whilst working at Caters back in the late 60s. Great piece of history captured here 🙂

@theweeknd2025 McDonald's for better value for money, but Burger King for better food. Guess you get what you pay for. My go to is the BK Bacon double cheeseburger XL meal deal. The Mushroom double Swiss was a good one back in the 90s as well, also BK

@MichaelTrewYork @BusAndTrainUser That's how I remember it, always assumed this was the initial layout

@GWRHelp What's the level of service like on Sunday from Cornwall into Paddington please?

[Si Coates @sijamescoates]

Great event at The Matford Centre in Exeter last Saturday for the last #sanctioned #carshow of 2024 Just a snippet of cars that attended, great weather for it too.

@McDonaldsUK you seem to have a glitch with your app, reordered breakfast this morning and it sent it totally to the wrong restaurant!! Ordered ahead to collect at Cornwall Services and it was sent to St Austell. Thankfully staff were understanding, but shouldn't have happened...

@DC_RPT @CornwallLive @HeartCornwall @BBCTravelSW Only been open a week and they've crash on it 🙄

@MarcMorganHuws @classicbus @creatingdesire Classic Bus sounds good 👍 lol

[Si Coates @sijamescoates]

@RiversideLC Would you mind telling me how much an hours swim would be for my 16 year old daughter please? We did enquire the other day on site, but the receptionist said all prices are online, but i can't seem to find them on your website! Thanks in advance

[Si Coates @sijamescoates]

@EnsignBusCo Good luck with your new venture, will First staff passes be accepted? Will have to have a ride in August when we're up that way visiting family. Is it similar to Arriva's 9 route?

[Si Coates @sijamescoates]

@LeighMilnerTV Hope nobody is eating or drinking closely, last thing they'd want is a flying off cut

@MarcMorganHuws @britbusworldcup @creatingdesire The purple refurbs we had certainly tidied those Gemini's up, sadly I've seen pics of some of those in scrapyards complete with the purple refurbished seats, no comment!!
