As Anon said if this had been on a normal schoolday it would've been much worse. Still, the 42 in the evening peak from Derriford must've been absolutely packed what with no 15. A few weeks ago the 1645 from Derriford City bound 42 was a B7 decker, and all the passengers must've thought thank god it was - it was full and standing, yes, every single seat was taken along with about at least 25 people crammed in standing downstairs. Thursday evening saw a load of people cram into a 15 at around 5.05, though the 1715 42 still managed to be full to the brim too! Seeing as it's a duplicate yesterday would've probably been the one and only time the second bus came in use.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-19396282213417974662012-10-27T11:02:34.782+01:002012-10-27T11:02:34.782+01:00yes, you do have a point there!

If Citybus didnt go into Plymstock, Barne Barton, Saltash then the strike would have hit a lot more passengers. <br /><br />I bet the passengers of Ivybridge are even more happy to see Citybus now than they were before!didbygrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858408719372985035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-30996096065291495102012-10-27T07:59:55.427+01:002012-10-27T07:59:55.427+01:00It should be remembered that there was very few sc...It should be remembered that there was very few schools open in Plymouth on Friday.

Buses on time, cheaper fares, worked out well in my opinion...<br /><br />Disruption? What disruption.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
