Reading Big Smoke Blogs as one does makes me envious of the metropolitan transport system which we use from time to time when in Lunnon visiting the relis. All right, they might not be intergrated in a joined up sort of timetable way but at least they are not deliberately unintergrated as is the case around here. So at the request of bloggees, well one bloggee who may have forgotton, here again is the ditty of a couple of years back but which remains painfully valid.
Borders BusThe number 32
from Golden Square to Timbuktu.
Via Paxton House (summer only)
Fishwick crossroads,
Paxton,
Hutton bus shelter
and
back again.
It’s integrated Borders style;
perfectly timed to leave Berwick station
just before the train arrives
And to return just after the next one
leaves.
And at one thirty it gets
exhausted
wnith all this excitement
and
stops for the day.
Thus being perfectly suited
to
the one way commuter.
Satisfaction rating:
100 percent.
No one has ever complained.
Not because Borderers are
stoic folk.
resigned to their lot
But because
the bus is always empty.
No one, it seems
wants to go
To
Timbuktu.
(even via Paxton House in the summer)
I am reminded that I am entitled to a free bus pass but I prefer to waste the government's money on some thing else
