Bus Service Changes From 7 April 2024
Resident replied to Andy C's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I saw all 4 of them, in convoy on the Parkway just before Park Square last Thursday on my way home about 2pm. Presumeably they'll live where they've been storing the diesel van/buses. I also hope that the drivers are all Polish, since the new charge points in the Interchange only have Polish instruction stickers on them -
Cyclists make up around 1.3% of non-motorway road traffic during the timeframe you mention. Using the statistics in the way you have is disingenous.

TBH most of the "cycles" I see tearing around the city centre are illegal e-bikes. Either home-brew built with unregulated chinese kits or legitimate e-bikes that have been illegally modified. Both exceeding the power/speed limitation regulations. They're very easy to spot, the rider generally has a takeaway delivery rucksack on their back. But as is the norm now in South Yorkshire, crimes are ignored by SYP if it means getting out of the car/van....

Protest In Waitrose, Ecclesall Road
Resident replied to *_ash_*'s topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
If a protest intimidates anyone from going about their lawful business then, under the law, the protest loses it's 'peaceful' status and the police are duty bound to intervene. They didn't in this case therefore they have failed, BY CHOICE, not to uphold the law and should face dereliction of duty charges. -
So it's fair on all taxpayers then, we all pay equally. Why should someone who's doing well financially and most likely to be someone who least uses public transport & already pays more in income tax to provide for those who pay little or even nothing, pay the most towards it whilst those statistically most likely to use it pay the least? Let's imagine you're earning 100k, you're in the supermarket and at the checkout there's someone in front of you, by sheer coincedence they have EXACTLY the same products as you. Their total comes to £50. Now your turn, all your items get scanned and your total is £175. You ask why and the cashier says "You earn 100k, they earn 18k so you pay more to cover the cost of the lower prices for those earning less"

Well I was the management trainer . Yes there was part of the training that dealt with difficult patrons that mentioned taking what you were being told with a pinch of salt. Upset patrons often embelish or stretch the truth. Sometime not on purpose, it's just a trait of human nature. However I'm not here in a professional capacity therefore free of any contraints and fully able to call BS when it's presented, which is pretty much every post Amber Leaf/LovePotion/Irene submits. -

You were as much a transport worker as the cleaners. You present yourself as though you were in high regard in the upper operational management. You're literally a Walter Mitty of the transport industry and you're an embarassment. I mean going back 4 YEARS for an old email, probably the last one you got before your subs expired is pretty desparate. Oh and I know what RMT stands for, as well as ASLEF and TSSA. RMT also has a public transport sector (buses etc) although Unite does that transport sector mostly. -

Your T-key was literally just to give you access to crew areas. Nothing more. Let's take your list one by one Ramp safety - Yes. Previous employment including safe working loads. Mangement trainer. Trolley safety - Probably similar to rack-server movement, sometimes weighing upto 300kgs (47st) Boiler/hot water safety - Yes, previous employment, Restaurant industry during Uni, Management trainer. Food prep, drinks - See above, Management trainer Difficult patrons - Management trainer in this area also Stock ordering and rotations, see above So yeah, think I have a great knowledge base in order to know you're talking out of your backside 99.9% of the time. -

You pushed a sandwich cart on a train. You know NOTHING of the transport industry beyond that. Myself and many other posters have proven this time and time again, people that either formerly work in the transport industry or currently do. Everything else you've said in the post above was said by one of those people in previous posts which you've just parroted. Here's an English lesson, Busy is synomynous with Peak when referring to time. I'm glad you don't lecture me on laying carpets, like transport you don't know the first thing.
