My other half had something similar on the 385. Last bus to go all the way to the terminus at Mellor Shiloh Road at Mellor was running late. There's a turning circle a mile or so before used by a few buses (including the final bus of the day). She wanted the stop just after the turning circle.This is a regular occurance on the tracking for the last journey towards Knutsford. The tracking stops before Mobberley and the driver doesn't bother to drive around the Longridge Estate but the tracking doesn't record which way it goes.
One day the tracking showed the driver of the 18:15 Macclesfield to Wilmslow driving out of Knutsford bus station, pulling in to the service station on the M6 and remaining there for around half an hour.
There must be one or two lazy drivers who think if there's no-one on the bus and it's the last journey of the day, they can skip the rest of the journey. If the relevant manager is aware of it, then D&G should be stripped of the contract.
Only passenger.
"Where are you going to?"
Turfed off early so the bus could turn round.
They have tweaked the timetable now and it doesn't seem to happen as much. But for a while, it was quite common for that service to mysteriously not make it all the way to the end of the route.
