@northernassist "speak to station staff"

Until next week when you sack them all.

#SaveOurTicketOffices

[🚌 driver Tim @tjbantam]

@NotYOLOSmh 1: Buy Railcards (not everyone is online)

2: get the best tickets for the journey

3: get ANY ticket given how unreliable the self service things are

4: get advice on anything

5: feel safe and reassured waiting especially after dark

@northernassist Where's the square that reads "Get a penalty fare cos the greedy train company have closed the ticket office and you can't work the shitty self service machine or it's out of order and there's no staff anymore to fix it"?

[🚌 driver Tim @tjbantam]

@RailDeliveryGrp @northernassist @PassengerAssist Yeah, cos an app is very useful when you close ticket offices and remove all the staff!

Still:

Home to Keighley,

Cullingworth to Halifax,
Halifax to Copley via Ripponden,
Copley to Brighouse,
Brighouse to Halifax,

All for £5.50?

Bargain.

Good work @MetroTravelNews @WestYorkshireCA!

[🚌 driver Tim @tjbantam]

Today is the first @MetroTravelNews #DaySaver day I've had for a while.

First up is this nippy little @mellorcc bodied @MercedesBenzUK Sprinter LN18 EWG of @keighleybus.

[🚌 driver Tim @tjbantam]

So, my day ended prematurely with @TeamPennine's PO59MLL again on the 502 from Holmfield back to Keighley.

As sums my luck up, it was also running about 7 minutes late which meant I missed my K13 from Keighley and had to walk home!

[🚌 driver Tim @tjbantam]

I'm being watched waiting for my next bus...

[🚌 driver Tim @tjbantam]

The Ripponden circulars offer a lively ride (woo-hoo!!!) and some gorgeous (albeit quite difficult to photograph from the back seat of a moving Sprinter!) scenery...
