yet another naff up by Rossendale Transport, they will be out of business soon with the way they are going

Yup, like I said , they don't give one about their passengers as they have a monopoly on the route, change the times and double the fares, they don't care. ( They don't respond to emails and complaints either..

)

Stopped using them, go for the first bus now which is Lancashire United, fare £1.60 compared to £2.20 for RT and I now walk home, sod em.

why blame rossendale transport .... the late buses were subsidised by lcc ... lcc are stopping the subsidies ... so if they cant afford to run them then why run them ....

because like Lindsay said, they are useless, they have extortionate fares and they don't even get back to you when you email them, Jen you can't keep defending them forever hun

shillelagh · 27-04-2011, 17:28

just telling the reason why the late buses are being stopped ....

They are run by Rossendale Council which is a good enough reason for why they are expensive.
Yes I know it is now a private company owned by the council but I bet most of the management moved across from the council so they will still have the council way of running things firmly in there heads.

How many moved across from the Council when it was first formed though?

shillelagh · 04-05-2011, 17:12

that was back in 1986 .... surely you werent expecting the staff to be fired on the day it went private are you .. so who would run the company then ...

Slightly later bus on Fridays only, the X41 departs Accy Peel St 2145.

Shocking that the council will allow this (the 464 situation) to happen on a major route like this. Just think, only a few months back they wanted to spend millions putting in 24-hour bus lanes.
