I lie along that route, so when the announcement for the timetable changes came through, myself along with many other regulars on the route were enraged. By not having the first bus until 8:45, they've cut off all their business from the morning school/work run. It's all fine and dandy on a day like today when the sun is shining, but what about those days when we're in the middle of a storm, and we all end up arriving at work like drowned rats? We're lucky we haven't had a day like that yet, but that <B>will</B> happen this winter and people will not be happy about it at all.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, why couple it on to a route that serves the other end of the city? The Barbican/Hoe and Plympton/Woodford are complete polar opposites of the city, the only way to get further away would be to serve Stonehouse and Potter's Quay. With their attitude there, to them the Barbican/Hoe route is just an appendage they can stick on to whatever route they like. To further sum up CityBus' stupidity, it's possible to get a ticket from Woodford to West Hoe, but when I tried to get from West Hoe to North Hill I had to pay twice - once to the city centre, and again from the city centre to North Hill.<BR/><BR/>It's an absolute disgrace at the moment.
