RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - BusLoverMum - 26 Jan 2016
(26 Jan 2016, 7:32 am)S813 FVK Its been said over and over that the route number being on the right is best practise rather than a 'must do'. Therefore, the vehicle is DDA compliant now and dosen't need anything doing to it.
That's what I told him.
RE: What's annoying you today? V4 - BusLoverMum - 26 Jan 2016
(26 Jan 2016, 4:10 pm)Jimmi No idea why but sometimes I can't seem to press the letter 'P' on my phones screen, I'm pressing it and it thinks I'm pressing the letter 'O' instead.
Mine jumps all over the place. I have a particular tendency to miss the space bar and I'm not sure it's because I'm not actually touching it.
The spelling suggestions are the most annoying. They stay there for just as long as it takes for me to notice them and choose one, then all move around and change just as my finger hits them.
The other annoyance, which I've mentioned before (apart from the parrot on my shoulder, reading as I type, as if my laptop was substituting o for p) is when I click shift because I want a number or some punctuation and it jumps straight back to letters again.
Husband has suggested trying a different keyboard but I'm too much of a luddite for that.

Apart from the ultimate destination should be static and not scrolling...

Well, i suppose you have a point there but how much of an effect does that actually have to the customer given that it only scrolls when it is at either end?

(22 Jan 2016, 5:05 pm)DanPicken I slipped over on the school M.U.G.A and have badly sprained my ankle so I have crutches. This has annoyed me even more as I now cant go out over the weekend.Get well soon mate.
My recent annoyance is I've cracked a bone in my knee.

In that photo you've linked to there, I think the bus should actually be displaying 'Ripon' like this photo https://flic.kr/p/DmusaL. The displays seem to be changed at Harrogate Bus Station, so from Ripon it should be 'Harrogate then Leeds' where it then be changed to 'Leeds' at Harrogate Bus Station then on the return it should be 'Harrogate then Ripon' where it then gets changed to 'Ripon' at Harrogate Bus Station. No idea why this is done.

First TransPennine Express' stupid mobile site.
Went through the booking process and when I got to the end it returned an error. So I have no idea whether it's gone through or taken any of my money although the site is saying I have no tickets.

North Road, Darlington.
It amazes how I looked at where service 5 was 5 minutes ago and it was on-time, 5 minutes later it's 17 minutes late! How is that even possible?

Maybe the wind opened up a wormhole.

Ouch.
My joints simply hate this sort of weather. I'm clicking so much I'm like a walking one man band. My bones ache and I can hardly lift anything.

I hope you are ok soon. I stupidly ran when I've cracked the bone in my knee....

You deserve The Look for doing that.
Unfortunately, I'll never be completely better but I definitely have been better. I think I need to go and take some of the good drugs, now I've had my dinner.

What's annoying you today? V4 - Jimmi - 30 Jan 2016
Did not enjoy that bus tour I went on today.
Half of the things planned for the day got dropped and we got a pointless 15 minute break for Wetherspoons in Bedlington where we waited about 5 minutes before walking out as no-one got served, then then we got to spend over an hour lingering round the bleeding MetroCentre. I paid £15 for this displeasure, now on the X22 back to Durham.
I'm never doing another one of these trips again! Feel totally conned and felt like I have wasted my money and my day.
