Arriva - You Must Use The Bus Stop.
Have you ever noticed on bus stops that some say request and some say fare stage? No? Well buses are supposed to stop at Fare Stage but only stop if flagged at a request stop.
It now seems that Arriva have introduced tough new penalties for those not using their bus stops in the correct manner or for trying to stop a bus between stops.
Arriva Introduce Tough New Penalties
Some of the comments are a treat especially the one from Texas Pete!'The honesty and bravery of our fighting forces stands in stark contrast to the weasel words and dishonesty of their political masters'. Liam Fox Now with 'added irony'!

Perhaps if he'd been at one the bus would have stopped, Trigger.

Do be careful though as Hector and his clique may descend upon you with their stock in trade proclamations of your inherent inferiority. And as it's the internet, they get off on it.

No, I'm having a slow day. I might get my head in gear by midday, if not, it is going to be a long day. Originally Posted by BrandySoured
