    Default Buses

    I assume that the bus timetable is optional, it tells me the bus is due at 07:20 so it seems reasonable to be at the stop at 07:15. Obviously not. The bus flies past at 07:05, 07:10 sometimes ( at the moment 1in 4 times) it arrives on time. Stagecoach seem to be running the buses to prove that there is no call for buses in rural areas when they really are needed and they need to run to time

    All well and good dx100uk but this supposes I have a mobile that would run such an app (I don't) so would have to look at it on my laptop and then I would still have to get to the bus stop in time to get the bus and that is a 10 minute trip. Obviously it is my fault for not having the needed piece of technology to get a real time update as to where a bus that is supposed to run to a timetable is.

    Buses should not be running early,that's a big no no for the driver. Complain to the office. The buses all have trackers so they can see if a driver has been running early or late or speeding etc.
    Don`t bother "repping" me it`s turned off.

    On the other hand the bus via Castletown is due at 0810 but more often than not runs late. It's frequently so late that the kids arrive after the bell.
