I’ve heard about 15 different stories about this now — there’s some Chinese whispers going on! 🤣 I saw the two Connect busses parked up in the station the following morning, both taped off and both being examined by police CSI forensic officers. I was told by a bus driver that the thieves boarded both busses, but only one was stolen. Apparently on previous nights the bus station security had seen youths boarding the busses and messing around in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why were they still stored there - As far as I can determine, the Interchange is not listed as as an operation centre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I've been using the Connect busses all week, both service 1 & 2, though they are operating a reduced service with Connect 2 being every 20mins instead of every 7-8mins.. Made me late back to work after my lunch break today. I think the busses are great, but there's hardly any leg room between the seats. If you need to hop from one bus to the other then they converge at the bus station, Charter Row, Cumberland Street and Eyre Street as per this map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the driver I spoke to today said they had now been told not to discuss the incident with passengers, which is understandable. Loose lips sink ships.

I don't think it is a case of 'loose lips sink ships', more that someone has really not thought this trough, As I said, the buses are NOT supposed to be stored there, and some knuckles are going to get rapped - hard.

RollingJ Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just as an aside, this proves that Coppard & Co will make a complete foul-up if they take over the PSV service - they haven''t got a clue what they are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point of order there RollingJ. Having a clue what you’re doing isn’t a qualification required to be a senior manager. Just look at the Post Office! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a point of interest SC2 is only scheduled as every 20 minutes - has been since its introduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise, I just remember seeing posters at the bus stop saying 7-8mins, they must have been referring to SC1 It's handy that SC2 stops right outside my office as I often jump on at lunch times and just get off at random stops for a nosey about.

Yes, they are referring to SC1 - I bet the fact is in a very small font somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
