Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016

(07 May 2016, 4:03 pm)Ambassador wrote Just witnessed a very heated argument between a passenger and a driver.

Bloke tried to get on the 21 to Chester at the bottom of John Dobson St, driver refused saying its a drop off only. Bloke literally stormed onto the bus and started pointing at posters on the bus showing he could board and then started waving timetables at the driver. Driver stood firm and refused and started arguing with the bloke, using not so choice words

Was all a bit unprofessional and odd. Never realised you could board the Angel at John Dobson but the notices inside say you can, unless they've never been updated. I asked a driver on the way back and was grunted at.

They really are miserable sods at Chester. Anyway, can anyone confirm if you can board the Angel at John Dobson?

Seems to be a Saturday afternoon thing. Some drivers really do lack people skills when it comes to irate passengers.

The driver who was faced with a couple of gits (they were gits - I'd been sat near them having to listen to their foul language and racist views) having a go at him for not stopping the X21 on Blackett street was surprisingly cool and calm considering the dire journey he'd had, that day, so it is possible to remain professional under such pressure. Some people are much better at it than others, though.
