Debut ride

On Monday I used The Bus Pass for the first time.

I was waiting for 11:25 bus from 11:15. By 11:50 it still hadn't come and I was informed by another man who was waiting that it had broken down. Eventually a replacement bus arrived at 12:05.

As we were finally leaving the Ingleborough Community Centre the other man rushed to the front of the bus and asked the driver to stop. He then dashed off to the Recycling Bins to retrieve his bag which he had left on the top of them.

So we wound our way through the lanes and villages of North Yorkshire and Lancashire to the great city of Lancaster.

With the lateness of the first bus I only had just over an hour before the return bus went. So I disappeared into Sainsbury's to buy some muesli and a quick lunch.

On the return journey we had yet another bag incident. This time a man left his shopping on the bus when he got off at Hornby. He had to hail it to get the goods back again.

So I learned a couple of things from this: Don't take the bus if you have to be somewhere at a particular time, and watch your bag.
