and utterly delighted.
A change to the zones and a change to the fares
AND my ticket is cheaper.
Really it is cheaper...
AND
not just pennies cheaper.
££££££££££ well perhaps not quite that many but still in the multiple
and that is on each ticket.
WOW!

Oh no!
the dreaded timetable change announcement form the bus company.
Click on the details and open it up
Scan down for the numbers of the buses I use.
What have they changed will it mess up my commute?
Oh and the first familiar number comes up..only a change in the stand it departs from, that OK
And the next number, a change in the route and the route name but only on the part of the journey I do not use OK that fine for me at least..
No changes to the red bus for the other main part of the journey..and
Oh no, the little bus, the lovely little bus I can get on the way home for one whole stop that saves me 15 minutes walk uphill (the one with the increased gradient going up to coming down) the bus that Santa drives quite often, that elderly ladies ride with for and then with their shopping as it loops through the houses and back to the town centre...ah they have changed it.
No more loop, it will just go to the town centre bus station, turn around and go back to the other town it serves...oh no it will add in a shopping park no use to me.
Whilst the weather is improving and perhaps I could well do with the extra exercise I shall mourn its passing alongside those for whom it is more necessity that guilty delight.
Come the winter when it is cold and wet and dark I shall be even less pleased with its absence I am sure.
Well for the couple of weeks left to the little bus I shall have to savour the ride.
I am sure there will be many others who have found similar or worse disappointments in the route and schedule changes. I suppose there may even be a few in addition to the money saving bus company that have found changes they approve of.

Still effected by the industrial action
even though it is not the bus company I use that has non driving drivers.
There are some routes of the company I use that overlap so there are more people getting on and off.
Indeed my first (and last) bus has been upgraded to a double decker.
So the timetable once again becomes less of a guide and more like wishful thinking.
But at least there is a bus.
Some routes have no overlap and people are struggling.
I heard a rather disturbing report that some taxi drivers working on the supply and demand principal...they being in short supply are demanding double time on fares!
Not sure that is at all reasonable.
