Well it's not been at Bolton long so it wouldn't have done, and I know the driver you refer to he did a 36 on this bus early in the afternoon |

Journeys cancelled because drivers were all at the Christmas doo. What a joke Surley they could have draughted in drivers from other depots to cover. Seriously all the drivers and depot staff are out getting sloshed while the very passengers that pay their wages stand at bus stops in the rain and wind waiting for buses that won't be turning up. |
