If you are like me and have to rely on public transport, then you would have probably found it difficult over the Christmas period. At no point did I see on buses or bus stops the Christmas timetables.

I ended up having to wait in the cold on Monday 3^rd January for 30 minutes waiting for a bus, as the service to get me home was on Sunday service for the 6^th time in 9 days. Now I didn’t see any signs up anywhere about services over the holidays, and what’s more when the bus turned up they wouldn’t accept my pass and I then had to pay the inflated prices for this year to get home.
This is obviously what you get for going to see a relative off at the train station (we got a taxi there). That is why I didn’t know about the reduced service until I was trying to get home again.
Also where is the travel information office, because I haven’t seen it anywhere or any signs for it.
With all the money they are spending on the new bus station they should have put up more signs.

I relate my recent Black Cab experience from the Beatties taxi rank. The floor of the cab I saw when I opened the door was about three feet up from the road, with no step. I managed to board, doubled up and straining my back. I shouldn’t have done it but we try to do the nigh impossible. I took a cab because recently i tried to board one of the old two-high-steps-to-board double deckers, but the bus stopped well away from the kerb, I managed the bottom one, and the driver got out of the cab and he and a passenger pulled me up the second one – these buses need scraping
