The varying routes drivers seem to take, won't help matters either.
Since the changes, I have seen some go up to Northside and scoot straight along Portmeads.
Others have came back down towards St Josephs and then cut along Birtley Lane towards the monument, before heading up Fell Bank and then Portmeads.
Yeah it's all over the place and it really is a horrendous service. One has just passed my house 11 minutes late.
They tend to go where ever the bloody hell they want and it is very annoying when they take little shortcuts like going straight from Northside to Postmeads without going via Fell Bank.
I got the 9:39am 82A from the Galleries to Barley Mow today and it was roughly 12/13 mins late, the driver didn't care and all the bus station manager said was it's the traffic lights in Birtley. I then pointed out it was going to Birtley and hadn't been, to which he just said "I don't know then, what can I do about it"
