...and to spare anyone else having to wait for one of those infernal <Townname>Live websites complete with endless adverts and videos to load, the gist of it is:
"The transport company has issued an apology as more than 40 journeys which were scheduled to happen throughout the day have been abandoned. Stagecoach's website says that the disruption has been partly caused by staff shortages. "

No problem for me. Admittedly it's "my" link but it loads within seconds. I do have Adblock Plus installed.

Received a WECA» eNewsletter in my emails a while back which included the following regarding a bus consultation: "Metro Mayor Dan Norris wants local people to be a key part of the important conversation about the future of public transport across the West of England. He will kick off the discussion by holding a series of “big choices on buses” public meetings in Yate, Southdown, Whitchurch and Bradley Stoke in the first week of August." After that was the following link leading to a questionnaire: https://www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/what-we-do/transport/bus/big-choices-on-buses/?dm_i=7AGD,8BXN,1LV3X9,ZKE0,1It occurred to me while reading through it that because I've only used buses in Bristol a handful of times since effectively retiring three and a half years ago (I've used the bus services in South Devon more) and despite not driving a car, I really couldn't give meaningful answers to the questions. |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-62397167Civil rights campaigner Roy Hackett, described as a "humble freedom fighter", has died at the age of 93.
Mr Hackett was one of the organisers of the Bristol Bus Boycott, a successful campaign to overturn a ban by Bristol Omnibus Company on employing black and Asian drivers and conductors.
He once said: "I lived in many places before I came to Bristol, and I never had racism as tough as back then."
Born in Jamaica, he was appointed an MBE in 2020.
Mr Hackett, who was the co-founder of the Commonwealth Coordinated Committee which set up the St Paul's Carnival in 1968, leaves behind three children.
LaToyah McAllister-Jones, executive director of the St Paul's Carnival, said: "Rest In Power, Mr Roy Hackett.
"You have inspired so many, your service and dedication to your community lives on through us all."

Experienced it for the first time a couple of days ago,its okay,but I wish there was another "tap out" point.
Some passengers were having a problem with not being able to tap out (for what ever reason).
A queue then built up with approx six passngers trying to get off as well trying to "tap out"

Not sure if it is the same system as in Swindon, but here if there are issues with tapping out on the usual reader you can also use the one in the driver's cab where you tapped in.
