Was in Batley yesterday (What have I done in my life to deserve that? ), anyway caught a bus back to Wakefield and all I can say is I feel lucky to be alive!
First the bus turned up, and I had to actually squint to see it said 'Wakefield' on the front. I was a bit surprised with what turned up as I was fully expected an Arriva bus, it took me until getting off this bus to work out it was actually operated by Tates Travel!
The driver glanced at my pass and then he set off like his life depended on it, I was almost thrown to the back of the bus with the sudden movement away from the stop!
Then a journey where I had to close my eyes on several occasions, the bus just seemed to be going far too fast considering some of the residential areas it was passing through.
On arrival into Wakefield the driver then proceeded to call several taxi drivers 'a bunch of $%^&^' for parking in a bus stop bay, and beeped his horn a few times!
I was very glad to actually get off the bus and transfer across to an Arriva service to get home!
