(10 Jan 2024, 6:03 pm)Shrek wrote I was in Forest Hall yesterday and while waiting at the bus I heard a large group of pensioners complaining about the state of the buses on the 355 and how they're no good for the old backs. Judging by my journey into town on the Streetlite, i could understand straight away what they were meaning, it was an awful journey.
Interestingly they didn't get on so I'm guessing they waited for the 38. I wonder if that was simply due to where they were going, or if they really dislike the rocket streetlites that much they'd wait in the rain.
I've seen many people who use the Rockets service and they say the buses put on or horrible.
My mam shops in Cramlington often and uses the bus and said to me once she got the 352 up to Cramlington and the bus was ratle. The nsa wasn't working nor were the USB.
She got on a 37 back and it had working nsa & USB and said its way better. She doesn't have to walk far but said the 37 was a cleaner bus.
But I'm sure I'll get slated for this but I'll wait.
I'm getting popcorn soon
