Stagecoach say sorry for a terrible service.



Stagecoach South West has today issued an apology to its valued customers with regards to late busses. After many complaints from enraged customers the head of Stagecoach South West, Mr Rea Tard finally spoke up to explain the dire service offered on their  1, 1A and 1B busses to and from Exeter.  

Mr Tard has this to say: “Well, the problem is that due to Bradninch being a place that nobody wants to go to, our busses have to counteract against the force pulling them away from the town. As well as this, our drivers are paid extra to pull away when people are still getting on the bus and also to drive past waiting passengers”. 

Mr Rea Tard also confirmed that the busses would no longer use the B3181 to get around this problem and explained the new route, “ Yeah, it will go right through all of the villages so we can serve more people, but we have had to take the long and hard decision  to only stop once in Cullompton.” 

Passengers reacted badly to this news with some even taking to Twitter to show their disgust. Megan Evans, a first year college student tweeted “Why can’t Stagecoach always drive past my house? My mumma pays £180 a term for my pass and this is the least I expect!!”

Another, Lauren Evans posted a photo of the crowding on her single decker bus and wrote “Is this some idea of a joke?” which received five retweets and two favourites from  angered passengers. I decided to pose the question to Mr Tard and he had this to say: “No, it is not a joke. Trying to break the world record for most people squeezed into a bus in a serious matter”. 

In other Stagecoach news: They are set to change to the timetable ever so slightly without warning anyone. Mr Tard said this is to “Keep people on their toes”.
