(01 Mar 2016, 6:36 pm)R852 PRG Think the worst we probably had was a kid getting beaten up while trying to take refuge in that little luggage compartment underneath the stairs on an Olympian. Can vaguely remember somebody going flying down the stairs on a Trident, when the brakes were slammed on.

Worst i've ever had kingsmeadow comp throwing pens at the front windscreen, closely followed by ryton comp from winlaton, kids smoking weed.

(01 Mar 2016, 6:38 pm)DanPicken We had a Y7 thrown down the stairs on a President, a couple of girls in my year would sit under the stairs on the President's.

Can also remember when Pat Armstrong covered for a week, a few years ago. Somebody stood past the sign at the cab. Don't think I've ever seen somebody look so fearful for their life before.

We had a driver who is still the most hated scholars driver for our school, he refused to let people off more than once so the person pressed the emergency door open and walked off, he also when it broke down and got started, forced everyone to sit/stand downstairs.

(01 Mar 2016, 6:36 pm)Dan If you have any concerns regarding the volume of the new Next Stop Announcements, could you please record them via the normal channels, so that customer feedback can be monitored and appropriate action taken if necessary?

Fair enough, I just thought you'd be the one to tell seen as you have taken onboard what the others have said etc.

It's more so to allow all appropriate members of staff to have a record of the feedback as it concerns more departments than one - an informal comment made on a bus enthusiasts' forum for my attention doesn't get to everyone! Smile
