De-regulation
Having read some posts in other threads on a similar note, I thought a thread on D regulation would be a good idea to have a good moan!

Here goes "What a fantastic success this has been".

I love the fact that competition does not really exisit. I love the fact the customer has no choice. I love the fact that on Wirral a QBP starts off with buses as old as my Nan.

I love the fact that when a small independent operator (local) tries to introduce new routes that the big boys did not want to try or look at mention no names (first) (arriva) ALLOW it to begin with, then get arsey and throw their size 12's about. Its ok for them to do the tendered work, but how dare you even contemplate going through the tunnel. I love the fact that Merseytravel stand back and allow as happened in the past Big Companies to saturate a route so that eventually the smaller independent can cope making a loss and go bust.

I love the fact merseytravel allow 6 buses to go past at 01,02,03,04,05,06 mins past the hour and then nothing for another hour on a regular occuance. This happens in many areas and on many routes.

I love the colourful range of liveries used "Happy ALS" maroon is a prime example (lol)

NO NO NO

give me good old fashioned Seview Road, Laird Street, Verona Green and Cream, Crosville Green, any day.

We the public have been conned. D Regulation has never worked in the way it was intended. The only people that have done well are the Fat Cats, that never use a blinking bus in their life. Rant Over "Have a nice day":
