Drivers telling passengers to use the emergency buttons...
"Roland Perry" wrote in message ... In message , at 13:19:24 on Sun, 25 Nov 2012, Portsmouth Rider remarked: In the first case I was thinking about, it probably would, because the obvious place for an additional stop would be the one in the middle of the village served by the station. In the second case (East Midlands Parkway to Nottingham bustitution) I don't see why it would be unreasonable to have the bus stop at the same limited number of places as the old "Skylink" bus to the airport. Those were presumably chosen for a reason. As it happens, one of those was near my house. In BOTH cases you had (presumably) purchased a ticket to ther station. And that is where you were delivered. Contract satisfied. No problem. In the second case I avoided using the bus by travelling earlier in the evening, as I wasn't prepared to have the last eight miles of my journey take over an hour. I know that prompt or even on-time delivery is not part of the contract, but I didn't know about the bustitution until I'd already arrived in London. The first, which was an emergency bustitution, was at the end of a very disrupted day, where I had needed to take a circuitous route to even get that bus. A route that would not have normally been covered by my ticket, so the contractual stuff isn't written in stone. -- Roland Perry Tough. The END POINT of the route was on the contract. What happens between star and finish is incidental. The rail co got you there. Late? hard luck I am sure there was a reason for it. Faeces venio -- PR |
