Its still busy now and were at Downhill.
Edit - at sotthwick and 7 people is still on.
Edit:
Old people, is it all they do is moan?
She complained because the bus wasnt low enough, which was at the point where it couldnt go any lower...
Shes now complaining to the driver that its to hot on the bus and for him to drive with the doors open... which the driver replied 'we cant due to health and safety',she replied 'bollocks'
Now she is saying that his driving to fast and if she gets injured shes sueing...
I feel similar - on 4958 on Saturday I was getting off at Pelton Bridge coming around from Chester (love a long run on the 28s) and an old woman wanted to get on at the Aged Miner's Homes.
The driver stopped and opened the doors, and she told him the bus was out too far. He apologized and said there were some handrails for her to pull herself on with. She got on and asked if it was the 78 - Jesus, we were already about 5 minutes late due some tourists at Beamish. He said it was the 28, and she asked him if he could just run her into Chester. I rolled my eyes as he said he had to go to Newcastle and she asked why the 78 hadn't shown up. He said it was a Saturday morning and it was probably very busy. She then got back off the bus and looked back if the 78 was there. Driver naturally assumed that she was getting off, and so he closed the doors. She suddenly turned back and hit the doors with her walking stick and shouted at him 'Erm, excuse me!'. He then opened the doors once more and she asked him very firmly, 'where is the 78?!' in a nasty tone of voice.
Goodness me, took us 3 minutes to depart the stop, and believe it or not the 78, which was also late, drove straight past - you should have seen her face!
