RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2016 - Jimmi - 01 Mar 2016
(01 Mar 2016, 7:25 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Scholar services should be withdrawn end of storySo the alternatives would be: no buses that run to the schools or normal daytime services getting rammed with school kids on a morning and afternoon. The buses would still be getting trashed whether you have scholar services or not as chances are the kids would still use buses to get to school even without scholar services.

Do you understand the costs of such an operation? Schools have better things to be spending their money on, such as improving school resources.

Well said Tommy.

So am I, it was much worse first time around when he was a Stalker.

And where will they find the funding to do that? Especially in a time when cuts to services like you state above are being made because schools can't afford to run a private or dedicated service.

The 88 home is busy enough now with visiting time having finished at the Hospital, I have bad memories of a WSS carrying 2 bus loads in Y7.

Thats a good point i was just saying my version dont think i meant all schools i was just frustrated that buses were destroyed

(01 Mar 2016, 7:45 pm)DanPicken I hope it wasn't diesel as that's a fire waiting to happen imo.
Thinking about it now its probably not Diesel as I believe it has a bit Red in it. Oil is just Black Liquid.

If a school did operate a scholars; surely the vehicle they use would get destroyed.

Can I ask that we keep the debate in a respectful manner, without resorting to personal insults? Big lugs is just as much entitled as the next person to bring up a topic for discussion. Nobody is obliged to take part.

Don't think some newspapers being thrown around and a slice of cheese going flying can be classed as a write-off.

True, or a Scania.

Not if a teacher or senior member of staff drove the bus

Neither do i, unless the engine got cheesy.

The person driving the bus can't really do anything to stop children messing around, can they? A teacher being present on the bus as a passenger would be much better.

The interior of the bus people dont want to have awful cheese stuck to the ground as its not value for money
