On these days, single journeys are only £1 – wherever you go! To be honest feel sorry for the bus drivers but then again I'm not someone who depends on public transport.

Sounds like takes one to know one to me what i mean is they have not worked these two days for the last 15 years and this is supposedly a customer service. i work in customer service and i have done most of my working life and have to work these days, why should a friggin bus driver be any different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well, all those who said there should be buses on Boxing Day and New Years Day, make sure you actually use them and prove there is demand. If these are successfull, then you never know, next year we may get buses on New Years Eve and Christmas Eve for the nights out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it pays to run the buses on those days, then they will run them. If it doesn't, they won't. This year of course it's the council thats doing the paying...

Heyesey Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Good news, in a general sense. Useless to us, unfortunately, since the bus to Mosbrough won't be running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
