The Nightmare of the X84 bus

The blog which tells you how often the X84 bus messes up my life

Tuesday, March 15, 2005

The X84 bus that was supposed to leave Otley at 9.35am was very late today. It turned up at my stop at 9.51am just 3 minutes before the next one is supposed to leave. The timetable lists them as being 20 minutes apart. I was late for work and every time the bus is late I have to phone work on my mobile phone to inform them of my impending tardiness. I seem to waste a fair bit of money ringing work.

Another day of rubbish buses

I tried to get to work for 1pm today but the X84 bus thwarted me again. I have been catching an earlier bus before work because there are road works at "Manor bends" which is delaying traffic by at least 5 minutes. I attempted to catch the bus leaving Otley at 12.15pm, arriving at my stop approximately 4 minutes later. This bus never turned up. So I waited for the next one, which leaves Otley at 12.35pm. In the mean time a bus, which read private on the front, hurtles past not taking passengers. A bus finally turns up at 12.50pm. I was late for work and I was unable to do the food shopping before work so the X84 really does mess your day up!
