Title: Grimsby (A)
Post by: Padge_DRFC on January 07, 2024, 02:27:10 pm
Just gone to check trains for this one. The Donny to Scunny leg of the journey is a replacement bus due to maintenance work. We've booked ours now. A few haven't. Assume you cannot turn up on the day and expect to pile on the bus like you can with the train. Once tickets gone that's it?

Replacement buses are always a bit chaotic in my experience. Finding it is the first problem. Is this the right bus? Is there a queue? Where do I stand? Then driver doesn’t bother checking tickets very closely.

I wouldn’t assume you have reserved your seat on the bus. It could very well be first in queue gets a seat. Will there be enough buses and seats for everyone with a ticket? Who knows.

Perhaps SLO can help out here.

Opted for the very early one based on this
