Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
Bit of a long winded post but anyway

I was on the X30 [13.05 departure from Warrington] on time until Helsby when a lad tries to board the bus at Helsby Tesco, but claiming his mobile data doesn't work & can't pay for a ticket doesn't have any cash, driver [quite rightly] refuses to allow him to board & depart, lad refuses to alight, quite a few other passengers including me, are getting quite agitated & want the lad to leave the bus, but the lad refuses to leave, que a stand off, driver ended up having to call the police out to remove him from the bus, police came & removed the lad, bus the.

One of the other passengers is on th & it's his regular route & saying the lad has tried this every day this week, we ended up over 30 late into Chester because of it, & i missed a route that i wanted to catch.

I'm tempted to try & catch the !3.05 departure from Warrington on Monday to see if the lad tries this again, it feels like the lad trying to get a free ride on the bus.

Oh & if anyone is wondering why one of the buses on the X30 was running so late, this is why.
