Bus journey

I had an adventure today!
The first time using my bus pass. I had to go for a hearing assessment in Blackpool so decided I would try the bus as it might be a good way to get to Blackpool if our NZ visitors fancied a trip there.
It was great & I’m raring to go again!
It did go all round the houses a bit but that was interesting too!

I did learn you had to ring the bell for your stop…..
You do indeed! I used to use buses all the time. Rarely now as they are highly sporadic around here. Glad yours is good! 🚌

Glad you enjoyed this new experience - I haven't used my bus-pass for years , didn't use it much when I was mobile enough ! It is interesting though to be able to "nose" at other areas and houses etc !!!!

Handy to have that option and no worries as to where you are going to park.
It's a colourfull bus. Just don't nod off and miss hour stop.

What a good idea. Looks like a nice new bus

Wonderful - We have one bus service here and the stops are too far away to be useful to me. Sounds great.

Good for you.

An excellent way to get good views too.

Thank you for commenting! I can’t wait to use it again! Harry will come with me next time! Not much use for doing a big shop but for a day out or even just into to Garstang it’s a different method of travel. We have friends who go mikes in a day but we have to get more experienced to do that.

Glad you had a good experience. It’s the going round the houses that would annoy me. It takes an hour from our village to Lincoln on the bus, about 25 mins by car.

What an interesting experience for you I haven't been on a bus for years.

@carole_sandford Yes you have to have plenty of time! It was new today but I expect it could get a bit if a chore! I doubt it will be a regular thing perhaps just in the summer but good to know it’s an option I we need it!

A new world is opening up for you Pat! Lovely.

It gives you the confidence that there are alternatives to driving if that can't be done for any reason! I wonder how long it took to get to Blackpool.

Lovely vibrant colours. More often than not it is easier to go by bus to the city. I very rarely use the bus even though our roads are blocked all the time for some reason or other.

So colourful with the blue and orange.
