We've arranged for Nexus to visit our offices to talk transport but it's just their marketing team to be honest.
Trying to get GNE to attend is difficult. I travelled with a Colleague on the bus yesterday. We caught the X39 there and back. Journey out was fanastic - just as quick as catching a cab from town as she'd normally do. Driver was lovely (they tend to be on that route) bus was clean and although busy - seats secured.
The way back - 6140 turned up and it was rancid inside. It smelt musky, there was mould and broken seals around the windows. The paint was flaked off the grab bars and backs of the seats, grafitti on seat backs and seats incredibly poor as legroom was non existent and the ride quality poor.
It's genuinely put her off using the bus again as she found it what she called a 'stereotypical' journey as she imagines thats what all buses are like.

Wistfully stuck in the 90s
