Zero stars really !!

Zero stars really !!! I had a wonderful day in Morpeth meeting wonderful local people…. then I met the horrible uncaring rude and lazy drivers…… I’ll go by train from now on unless they are all sent to Charm School for a Refresher Course because the first one didn’t work … did it ⁉️😡

I asked very politely about a bus time as a previously expected bus hadn’t turned up but the three together I asked just shrugged their shoulders and laughed … the second bus actually did turn up on the time expected and one of the motley crew was the actual driver who just exploded at me when I asked why the times stated on screen weren’t correct … it’s not my fault that you have nothing to do with the times stated on the screens and they are run by sandersons ~ all I ask is for a little politeness ~ I’m 71, surely I’m just as valuable as everyone else so deserve decent responses ~ my bus pass is free but I’ll take the train from now on …… and you won’t do anything about this because a) you took ages to respond and b) you really don’t care ….

I give it a star because they don't let us publish without a star, but this is the worst transport service in London, in the Dartford area drivers do whatever they want, they stop in the middle of the journey, in winter they don't put the heat on and in summer they don't put the air conditioning, they take us like caged dogs, well, I think dogs are better cared for and, apart, a very expensive service. Today we are 35 degrees, the bus is without air conditioning. And this morning the driver had heating on with the heat it is. Please, those of us who use public transport need not to take care of a little more.

Worst journeys I have ever had

Worst journeys I have ever had. On a short stay in Liverpool, took a number of journeys. Each time, as soon as I scanned my card, the bus moved off making it difficult and dangerous to get to a seat. Some busses had signs saying to remain seated until the bus comes to a stop, so Arriva obviously recognise how dangerous it is to move about the bus when it is moving, yet ignore any training in this respect .

Tickets don’t work half the time

I paid £32.50 for a Medway ticket just for it not to work half the time on the 101. I get the bus from tigermoth (Chatham) just for it to keep getting denied? I pay for the entire of Medway not just the inner just for it half the time to not even work? Why am I paying £32 just for it to not even work in Medway

The 352 from St Helens to Wigan

The 352 from St Helens to Wigan, in my case the 352 from Wigan to St Helens, is an absolute joke! Yesterday I was stood at the bus stop outside Wigan train station for 1 hour and 24 minutes. They are meant to be every 15 minutes. Not only this but I had multiple busses going past that were “not in service” the company is SHIT! Not only that but once I finally got on a bus I asked the driver politely “what’s going on with the busses today” he points his finger and tells me to “keep it moving” RUDE.

Absolutely disgusting service

Absolutely disgusting service! I have a college student daughter sitting exams. Went in plenty of time for the 7.56 bus, to get to college for 9am...it ignored the standard route and missed the estate. I was assured the 8.26 bus would arrive...it missed the estate again. Daughter has now missed an exam as the next bus is after 9! No need whatsoever for the driver to divert from the main route as we have no roadworks!

As I said on my first review I find the bus service is fine and I'm thankful for it. Alot of people are, I hear nearly 100% thanking drivers before they leave the bus.My complaint is about the new app,thank you for your reply AM of Arriva asking for more info. I used a link you sent so I could explain in more detail my complaint but it took me to a screen one half of which was abt recipes and the other half I clicked on lead to "page 404" that lead to the Arriva site to 'choose a topic' box.
Would you email me a copy of your "What do you think of our new app" survey please.Thanks

If I could put 0 stars I would

If I could put 0 stars I would. These buses are a joke, they are unreliable, most of the time it is quicker for me to walk and I live over 3 miles away from my place of work. They are always late or if they are early they drive off without waiting until they are due to drive. Most of the time they are out of service but still driving around (what is the point???!!!) and a lot of the time they don't bother showing up at all. Also they don't even run on Sunday, some of us have to work Sundays too. I have complained but it falls onto the deaf ears of a chat bot. I am fed up with this dog shit company.

The Arriva 104 never arrived

I would have given 0 star but that option not available.
On the 2 occasions whist living in Wrenthorpe, the first being that l needed to travel.to the bus station for a connecting bus to take me to the airport and the other time today when my car broke down and l had a Health appointment in town they have not turned up. Of they choose not to run at the allocated times shared at the bus stop could they at least cross the bus time off the time.on the bus stop notice so we don't all continue to believe that they will turn up as planned. Thanks in advance.
