The Bus Inspector

Keen bus (and coach) traveller with a few opinions, ramblings and grumbling.

Your trams are still saying that I can go to the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre @NETTram. I posted back in 2022 about it, it’s now over 5 years since the centre closed. Surely it can’t be that difficult to update your announcements to make things less confusing for your passengers?

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

Why are the trams still telling me I can go to Broadmarsh Shopping Centre @NETTram? It’s been closed for over 2 years now, even the rubble has been cleared away. You really need to update your onboard announcements, it’s very misleading and doesn’t reflect well on your company.

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

Hi @NETTram, is it safe for the cabs on your trams to be left open while your drivers have a chat on the platform at Wilkinson Street? I’ve seen this happen multiple times and doesn’t strike me as very sensible.

@alexhornbybus @themagpiecafe @thewhitbyguide @VisitWhitby Lovely place but next time you go try fish and chips @Trencherswhitby the best fish and chips in the land…

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

@nationalexpress why didn’t the 6am 450 service from Nottingham to London turn up this morning? We were all waiting and there was no information about what was happening. Very poor service.

@NETTram You’re welcome, when can I expect it to get updated?

@AndrewWickhamGo @Morebusco Amazing work by @Morebusco and @AndrewWickhamGo . Within a matter of days they’ve implemented a huge number of new bus routes, helped drivers that would have otherwise have been out of work and reassured the community that buses will still serve their area. Absolutely incredible.

@YellowBuses Thank you so much @YellowBuses for your continued stunning service, it’s a very sad day. I have many happy memories of some lovely rides on your buses, I hope I can make some more in the future, I won’t give up hope. It won’t be the same not seeing your brightly coloured buses.

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

@Bournemouthecho Such sad news, @YellowBuses have been an iconic #Bournemouth brand for so many years. I shall certainly miss that brightly coloured livery and great service. Thanks @YellowBuses for all your years of great service to the area.

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

@BournemouthWea1 Try being in Bournemouth right now, lovely place but utterly miserable weather. Annoyingly the rest of the country seems to be basking in sunshine!

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

You really need to update your announcements @NETTram, the tram I’m currently on seems to think I can go to Broadmarsh Shopping Centre. It’s time for a change anyway, perhaps someone with a softer voice like the first announcer you had. #tram #misleading #Nottingham #broadmarsh

@julkinen Really loved this series, wonder what they are all doing now…wouldn’t it be great to have a follow up series with them all?!?!

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

It has to be #Whitby @MarcCorbishley and the best by far are @Trencherswhitby just take a look at these...

[Golden Memories and Silver Tears @MarcCorbishley]

Which seaside resort do you think has the best fish and chips?

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

@Shearings my favourite place to visit in #Yorkshire has to be @Trencherswhitby, best #fishandchips ever. I’m sure they’d give your passengers a very warm welcome when you’re in #Whitby. Just take a look, how can you resist...

[Shearings Holidays @Shearings]

Happy #YorkshireDay, everyone! We may be biased but, 'Ee by Gum', it sure is one of the finest places on earth. Whitby... Scarborough... York... Harrogate... what is your favourite place to visit in Yorkshire?

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

When you’re taking a tour to #Whitby @Shearings be sure to check out @Trencherswhitby they are by far the best #fishandchips I have ever had.

[Shearings Holidays @Shearings]

Who doesn’t love fish and chips at the seaside? There’s good reason this classic duo is one of the nation’s favourites! Comment with your favourite seafront spot in the UK to enjoy this tasty combo! 😋😋 #Shearings

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

A very important and insightful message from @alextransdev here, a real ambassador for bus travel.

[Spencer Stokes @spencerstokestv]

Harrogate Bus Company calls for a more nuanced approach to the government's don't use public transport message....

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

Lovely to see it despite the weather @nathan17227251. I’m desperate to be back on my favourite bus route @Morebusco @PurbeckBreezer 50. Should have been there next week, obviously had to cancel 😢, hopefully make it to #Bournemouth later in the summer for my @PurbeckBreezer fix!

[Nathan Singers @nathan17227251]

Very wet day but the half open tops are still out ! @Morebusco @PurbeckBreezer

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

Definitely the best fish and chips if you’re going to @Trencherswhitby, they’re certainly the best I’ve ever had. #whitby #FishandChips

[Coach Hire Comparison @coachcomparison]

Famously known as the birthplace of Dracula, Whitby isn't as scary as it may seem. A favourite spot to get some sea air and arguably the best fish and chips around. This harbour town could be the perfect seaside weekend destination.
Have you taken a trip to #Whitby before?

[The Bus Inspector @thebusinspector]

@ExcelsiorCoach I’ve never taken an @ExcelsiorCoach holiday but have been very kindly rescued by one of your coaches whilst on tour in Switzerland because our coach had a puncture.
