Many thanks to the Saltmeadows driver who tried to help me, and to the Deptford driver who shouted "NO" when I asked him if he could get in control because two old women had been waiting an hour: You're a Cunt.
Must be bad if you have to use language like that, the worst swear word of them, but I would be thinking the same

I had worse on the 4 Today, Waited 20 Minutes at The Galleries, Got on the 4, sat there 10 Minutes without Moving, due the Driver taking ages in Letting People on, He then Turfed 2 Passengers with Pushchairs as there was already a Wheelchair onboard and a OAP with a Zimaframe who Refused to Move, Saying she had Rights to sit There.
The second Passenger with a Pushchair then Argued with the Driver for 5 Minutes, Further holding up the Queue of Passengers waiting to get on, Same Pushchair Arguement happened again with a 3rd Passenger at Concord, who could got on the M2 Behind, Then at the Second Bus Stop up from Heworth Golf Course.
The Wheelchair Passenger got off, But the Driver Stopped the Bus so the Passenger could not get off the Ramp onto the Pavement as the Bus Shelter was in the Way, So he had then turn sideways on the Ramp to get off, in which he needed help in doing so, And the Driver refused to help him due to Health and Safety.
So I then got off and Pushed and Helped the Wheel Chair Passenger, Then once we Eventually got to Heworth, I opted to then Read the Riot Act to Driver at how Disgraceful his Behaviour and Customer Service was, In which he told me to Piss Off.
So a Journey from Washington Galleries to Heworth which supposed to take around 20-25 Minutes, Took 45 Minutes.
Thats twattish kicking people off a bus, technically the old woman with the Zimmer is within there right, seats at the front are for the elderly as well, but surely it would not hurt to move one back.
Good on you Detective Malarkey for saying something to the driver and well done for helping a fellow passengerin a wheelchair, whether the driver is in breach of Health and Safety by helping a wheelchair or not is irrelevant, It is common sense and courteous...
Telling you to piss off is uncalled for, I would be writing a nice letter to customer services about it
(08 Feb 2014, 8:34 pm)Dan wrote I was affected by the delay of the 4 too - stood around at Heworth for 20 minutes.
So about an hour and a half spent in sub zero temperatures.
I pity the lad who didn't have a jacket, and also pity the two old women at the stop who were confused as hell. Probably missed the time slot for their meds, the lot.
One hell of an angry e-mail being sent tomorrow...if I can get out of bed. The way I feel at the moment, it will be the last time I leave the house!
I dont envy being customer services with you and our resident dectective being a bad mood over the lack of customer service
