No more mobile phone 'tickets' (York ftr)
Sun, 24 Jun 2007 17:22:58 +0100
Seems like first York are abandoning the on-bus ticket machine and are
just using the conductors.
The email doesn't make it clear if the normal 10journey tickets are valid
on the ftr now (it only mentions week and month tickets).
Cheers

separated the roles. I was considered a good guide but a lousy seller so
I got sacked. I guess they've finally realised that combining the roles
was not a good idea - the com ...

what happened in Midlothian last night?
Fri, 08 Jun 2007 11:09:34 +0100

operating a reduced 86 service (mostly the same route). I was
waiting at Surgeon's Hall - the BusTracker display kept saying
a no ...
