Seems like a bit of a lottery. The bus service used to be so reliable. Maybe in these troubled time people should resort to hitch hiking. I would certainly be more responsive to giving a lift to those holding out a thumb. Quite, there were 2 buses from Port Erin that didn't show up between 4 and 5.30 this afternoon. Luckily I didn't need to be anywhere in a hurry lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlo Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Maybe they should just leave the key in the numerous minibuses listing all over the island and let the punters do their own thing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Had a issue with no shows of buses on the Prom tonight. Couldn't get through for a taxi , well lets get a bus , number 2 along the Prom supposed to arrive Queens Prom at 10 11. No show , oh well ,there's another at 10 30 , wrong ! no show . Next at 10 56 which did arrive. A couple of visitors stopped to ask me what was happening with the buses as they had heard there not very good currently. Can't argue with that there not. Middle of the year , revised timetable and still buses not arriving . Edited June 18, 2022 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 But Tim Crookall "believes that..." Never forget that, it will be his epitaph at the next election. After he's spent his time "believing" and "hoping" in DfE as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All so far have offered money which I refuse because I’m not for hire or reward but I’ve no doubt there will be others making money out of them.

Suggest that you check their facebook and also try findmybus which should show you if there's a bus o the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next they need to run buses to the timetable. They did announce a couple of cancellations last night - quite late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
