I see the 17, 18 and 116 are being show as withdrawn from the end of October, is this true?
I was going to take some photos of their Aycliffe Town services this afternoon and the first thing I saw was the 17 coming back from Cobblers Hall running over 15 minutes late - how the hell do you rack up a 15 minute delay on this service WTF are you doing does it seriously take you over 30 minutes to get to Cobblers Hall and back, seriously what are you doing.
Then for the 116 - why drive round the Dandy Cart and Stephenson Way when you can sit at Greenwell Road for 20 minutes, I actually rode a Heighington bound 116 round the town this afternoon and in typical fashion the driver of the 116 and 17/18 were not dressed very smart and as got past Cobblers Hall the driver started to blast out some Clubland style noise which I'm sure the old woman who were onboard are massive fans of.
I hope they don't run all their services like they run these services and if they do I hope they lose there other services.
It is also worrying to see notices on their bus stating "bus passes must be shown by order of DCC" which to me implies that they been in trouble with people not showing passes.
I will not really be sad to see these services go, but I will feel sorry for the elderly and disabled passengers who will be left with no bus service come the end of October.
