UPDATE: Same again today !
It should be simple enough for a person within operational management to check which buses ran on the timings in question last week, the GPS times and positions will verify and validate your observations. If nothing is done, I guess the nearest Traffic Commissioner may be interested in persistent lateness and omitted buses, though I am led to believe that lost mileage these days is not punishable by fines provided good reasons (hopefully not excuses) are given. The Commissioner may insist on the buses being re-timetabled to suit the traffic conditions as was done in Bristol a few years ago, but as the road works from Whittington to St Peters is a relatively short term problem and should improve journey times in the near future I doubt that much can be done.DD12 wrote: ↑15:47 Saturday 17th September 2016I have now contacted the company about the continuing, missing bus !
(This Tues, Wed, Thurs,Fri)
The big problem as I see it is that when the 16.45 32 from Crowngate is missed off, then the "return leg" - the 17.05 from St.Peters is also missing, causing a 40 minute (+) wait for the next one.
It did and it was me driving it Lol. I departed around 1651.
Thanks for your kind comments, but I think these should be addresses to Mr DD12, I merely replied to his post with a few observations from the point of view of a long retired ex-Worcester bus driver. Being a bus driver has its good points, but also can be very frustrating, if like Mr WR1st, you try to complete all the services on the running card during peak periods. Though I have never been in their shoes, the supervisors at Inspector and Controller level don't have it easy either trying to cope with driver shortages and bus breakdowns against a backdrop of fleet strength cut to the bone, a lot of quick thinking and experience is necessary to keep the buses running.
