PLASE NOTE<\/span><\/p>\n This weekend brings our monthly Fellowship meetings on Sunday and Monday. Either there are a lot more months in the year due to the ravages of inflation OR months are a lot shorter, mirroring the reduction in sizr of\u00a0 chocolate bars! Either way, months appear with alarming rapidity.<\/span><\/p>\n To add to the fun (?), after disposing of the Scottish mega cold, just over a week ago the East Devon germs stepped in to fill the gap. The snoitery snuffles, dry cough and general lethyrgy are back in place but slightly less debilitating than the Caledonian version!<\/span><\/p>\n But we\u00a0 soldier on, dutifully!<\/span><\/p>\n The consequence is that Monday’s and Tuesday’s blogs may be significantly curtailed if the energy needle drops rapidly into the sector painted red.<\/span><\/p>\n ===========================<\/p>\n Daventry Changes – First Working Day<\/span><\/p>\n The route map on the leaflet was, erm, basic! Until last weekend, and since the Daventry Dart brand and timetable, there have been two buses an hour fast (ish?) between the two towns.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n First journey\u00a0 \u00a00958, Service D4, Long Buckby railway station to Daventry Bus Station.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus is the infrequent service further reduced as part of the “improved” timetable.<\/p>\n The stop for buses towards Daventry still has the now out of date timetable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n At least the web site is correct so “<\/span>IT IS ALL ON LINE<\/span>“<\/span><\/p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The only persons available to help passengers at the bus station were the bus drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n The D1 to and from Rugby went straight back there …\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And a past example of Stagecoach’s strict adherence to the correct brand!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n xx05 depart Northampton as a D3<\/span><\/p>\n xx11 arrive Daventry (past the next hour.)<\/span><\/p>\n xx15 depart Daventry as a D5 (town service)<\/span><\/p>\n xx38\u00a0arrive Daventry<\/span><\/p>\n xx42 depart Daventry as a D6 (town service)<\/span><\/p>\n xx17 arrive Daventry (past the next hour)<\/span><\/p>\n xx22 depart Daventry as a D2<\/span><\/p>\n xx01 arrive Northampton (past the next hour)<\/span><\/p>\n xx07 depart Northampton as a D2<\/span><\/p>\n xx47 arrive Daventry<\/span><\/p>\n xx52 depart Daventry as a D3<\/span><\/p>\n xx59 arrive Northampton (past the next hour)<\/span><\/p>\n And the fun and folic continues!<\/span><\/p>\n I calculate that five buses are needed for a five-hour circuit. No route branded identical vehicles are used this time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n He continues:-<\/p>\n Vehicle allocation is the \u201cit has a wheel at each corner, send it out” system so we have two Enviro 300 single decks, two gold branded double decks and an 04 registered Trident double deck 18408.<\/span><\/p>\n While Gold liveried bus 15845<\/span> (originally branded for Gloucester route 10) …<\/p>\n
