We do everything else that the depot does, but ask me for a place around Peterlee or Wingate etc and I wouldn't have a clue... I know my route (ie the 21A) and that's it... Somebody asked me if I went past St Bedes School earlier, which was met with a 'Where's that?' lol
I have a hard time keeping up with the Durham tickets never mind T&W and the passengers will know best what they want. For example I've still never sold a East Durham Triple ticket (day or week yet) - I just know they're valid as far as Wingate.
In other news, Pulsar 1449 has been debranded leaving just two to do - 1447 and 1448
The 21A used to go passed St Bedes school in Peterlee (Grampian Drive/Passfield Way) until Arriva decided to run the 21A same route as service 21 between the Moorcock and Peterlee bus station, due to the 21a getting caught in traffic on the junction of Passfield Way and Grampian Drive especially at school opening and closing time and rush hour traffic using Passfield way to get to the A19 southbound a lot quicker.
I bought a East Durham triple ticket the other day on service 22, triple ticket is valid upto Station Town from Peterlee.
