First Aberdeen 19, Lack of service, Yet again.

At the weekend there, there was a HUGE Headline... in the local paper.

"BUS STRIKE IS CALLED OFF "

Now call me stupid, doesn't that mean that the buses will finally go back to a proper service again ???

OK, so picture this if you will, am gettin ready to go to an appointment, safe in the knowledge that the buses are finally working to their proper timetable..

so, Leave house afore 1pm to get the 1:06 bus leaving Tillydrone... Easy huh ??

YER RIGHT !!!!!!

No Bus, wait a while.. still no bus ... so at 1:15pm I call Busline, to be told they are back on the emergency service yet again, and one was due at 1:10pm ... so emergency service is a "work to rule" at 20 mins apart.. so am waiting .. 20 past, nowt .... 25 past .. still nowt .. 28 Past a wee single decker appears drops off the passengers and lets on some at the terminus, he then gets out to hae a lok at his damned bus ???

As he is doing this, a double decker appears, so of course they hae a damned chat don't they.
Eventually the double deckers comes around and starts to move, but it isn't saying what it should say " Culter " instead it says " Sorry, I am not in Service " ???
All the driver does is point to his watch as he drives past with me giving him the proper signage for this type of pathetic behaviour.. " Wanker " with the hand going up and down .. you know...

So whats the point of me posting this time, well see the last post, thats when this industrial action bull crap started, and its been on going since then, and to be totally blunt, I am so friggin fed up with it.

So I would like to announce I am going to set up a new blog Solely for First Aberdeen, and am going to open it up to all persons with their stories of the Hours of waiting for a bus late at night because they do a pathetic timetable that left an ill and disabled person with no way home in town centre on a cold and rainy night for approximately 1 hour and 20 mins.. This is a service that has sole use for Tillydrone, no other bus goes in there..
The 17 and 21 buses go past it at woodside fountains, but I can assure you, the wee hill is lovely to walk down easily enough, but for me its a sair trek to go up in the morn when you haven't really woke up yet.
