Simon, I do SO agree with you. On Saturday I was on a 94 bus that stopped before Goldhawk Road station for a change of driver but there was no driver so we waited while the 'old' driver sat in the driving seat. After around 7/8 minutes another 94 drove up behind and our driver said that we could have a ticket to change to the other bus. We duly trouped out clutching our pieces of paper but... the next bus was also due a change of driver so we were not allowed on! We then all waited in the cold until a 3rd bus turned up about 5/6 minutes after the second one. Once again we were asked to wait as the driver had to hand in some paperwork. He disappeared off to the bus garage and returned 4/5 minutes later and we finally set off while the other two buses still waited. It was infuriating and inexplicable. Grr, grr!! |
