Adam has left work for this evening. It is therefore left to I, Cliff Hignett, to address your travelling queries.


If you're always running late and will probably miss the bus the I would seriously question your suitability as a passenger on our public transportation network. Our reliability rate is in the upper ninetieth percentile and our passenger satisfaction level currently stands at 87 per cent. Our passengers wouldn't accept our buses constantly arriving late, so, as a passenger on our services, we wouldn't expect you to be late. May I recommend a more reliable timepiece; a diary to help organise your time better; or, perhaps, a car.

However, if you are running late, you could always catch the 20:15 2C from Fatfield to Shiney Row (arriving 20:19). The 79A departs from Shiney Row at 20:25, arriving at your destination for around 20:43.


Adam was wrong on this occasion. You can make the return journey using the connections I referenced earlier. On weekdays, you latest 79a you can catch departs from Fencehouses at 22:37, arriving at Shiney Row at 22:56. The connecting 2C arrives at 22:57 arriving at Fatfield four minutes later. However, on Fridays, you can catch the 23:34 79A from Fencehouses to catch the 23:57 2C from Shiney Row.


A £6.80 day rover will cover you for multi-operator transportation options.

Thanks for your enquiry,

Kind Regards,
