Arriva should listen to drivers
1:00pm Thursday 9th July 2009
TO the people of Carr Mill, Moss Bank, Sutton, Sutton Leach, Clock Face, Sutton Manor, Thatto Heath....
What good is a bus service of every ten minutes when what you are getting is three buses every thirty minutes. When this route was 24 or 23 we had a bus every 20 minutes and these were always on time every time, non missing.
Not like now, running early and late or two and three at the same time. Do not blame the drivers, it is the stupid timetable they have to keep to, the management are trying to run a timetable that might have worked 20 or 30 years ago when traffic was half what it is now.
They should listen to the drivers, they know where, when and what time people use the route.
Is it true no one at Sutton Heath or Lowfield go out after 1800 hours?
So why stop the buses after 1800 hours, this means if you go out for the day you have get to be home by 1800 hours or you have to walk half way home, all up hill.
There's a lot of elderly people that live on the estate. So come on ARRIVA, put your brains where they should be and use them properly and not just for profit.

Can someone explain why one company is allowed a monopoly in any event? Surely healthy competition can't hurt the consumer

It's the drivers that get it in the neck not the bosses who cannot see how to overcome a problem of a 14 week watermain work on a main route out of Wigan.

As for making these run after 6pm - if this happened, I for one would be less than happy because its bad enough having the noise of them roaring past constantly throughout the day - I draw the line of an evening!
