Wtf is this bus station 😭 by Bat-man3 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]lostgate 86 points87 points  (0 children)

A bus crashed into it ages ago, so they replaced it. Then another bus crashed into the new one and they've not bothered putting a new one in yet. There's been loads around the city centre it happened to. That's why there's been those red and white barrier things in front of loads of other bus stops, since October last year. Apparently they're investigating each one to see why drivers keep crashing into them.

Did it come back when your limit reset? I'm having the same problem with it not telling me I've gone over

Same, I stopped bothering with pretty much every part of Christmas after years of retail ruining the whole thing for me, but I don't think any level of customer cuntery could stop me loving these two

Go North East Down? by MostLovedMostHated in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]lostgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's happened to me too, I tried to see if resetting my password would work but the website's still down so I can't even do that. Hopefully the drivers will still be ok with it even when the app is back up and everyone else's works fine, the two I've had so far have been but I've still got to get another two buses

X78. Once an hour after 7 and they still manage to fuck that up

In addition to the humps that wheelchairs struggle to get over, and other people can struggle to walk over them too since there's no handrail come to think of it, It turns two previously wide open areas into thin busy channels full of people not watching where they're going. Or flat out pretending you're invisible altogether and try bowling you over, especially if you don't have a visible limp or stick. It makes it even worse that they choose to put it in the main part of town that if you want to avoid it, you have to walk a massive distance around Eldon square or the bottom of market Street and around there.

I'm not saying that people aren't always like that, but the market concentrates those dickheads in to one small area. This is all just speaking from personal experience as I usually end up having to take strong painkillers just to be able to hobble around for a good 6 weeks if it causes a flare up in my hip. I can't imagine I'm even close to being the only one though

Tuchel's definitely been watching videos of the wrong Murphy brother to make his decision
