BUS FARCE


The 176/177 bus saga, it’s the stuff of legend round the Walderslade /weedswood area

Once upon a time you could be sure of catching a bus quite easily into town taking in the station before continuing on to Gillingham and Medway hospital and vice versa.

But that was before someone had a bright idea to shake up the timetable and routes and since then it’s been a bit of a gamble as to whether you’re actually going to be able to get anywhere at all on time if you decide to use their public transport services.

Take it from someone who has on a couple of occasions stood waiting for 45 minutes for a service that supposedly comes every 12 minutes as she watches at least 4 vehicles go past in the opposite direction never to be seen again, that if it becomes more time efficient for someone to walk into town and they are getting as far as Thomas Waghorn and his pointy finger before anything passes them maybe those who are able to do so will start protesting with their feet and start being a bit more cost efficient about paying your fares ,Arriva.
