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…..
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 !!!!
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.
@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!
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.
It's a colourfull bus. Just don't nod off and miss hour stop.
