20six and busy sunday work
Posted by: Nik in Weblog, tags: 20six, blog, bus, fire, Manchester, Roadchef, Watford GapI see that the lovely 20six has been down over the last few days, and so are all their fabulous blogs that I read (well, the one’s that haven’t moved away yet!).
No, I don’t regret moving my blog to here 
I expect a flurry of great entries from the 20six faithful once it comes back online!!

Sitting at Manchester right now, a bit chaotic for a sunday. Apparently there was a fire on one of their local buses or something! But they have got round to cleaning me and fuelling me now. I don’t want to be late back into the bus stop this evening, being sunny Sunday I have 80 people to load.
That’s 80 odd people that won’t be visiting Watford Gap tonight too. Say for example, that 65 people went inside and bought at least a coffee and a sandwich, average of £7 each that’s £455 that Roadchef could be losing out on. Seeing as it’s hot, many might buy water too, another £1-2 a bottle… their loss! They say they aren’t making money from us, we’ll make sure it’s true.
I will post details about the Roadchef fiasco, I promise!

Nice blog. Likey the leafy things
Cheers! I might change the leaf thingies, maybe something summery like petals or flowers or ’suns’.
20six down tut tut.. Again. Its a wonder that people left in the first place.
Bollocks to roadchef nik.
That woman manager north side put the boot in and convinced roadchef bosses to send us packing.She will get her collar felt when they realise she was wrong and that money was been made.
They should have just banned the abusers,and let the good guys carry on enjoying the amenities.
So I guess that nothing has changed while I’ve been away then! Not that I expected anything to happen, mind. Your last sentence, so obvious, so simple, so fair all round. Shame they didn’t follow it.
I’m a new Megabus driver, and even before I’d asked for food (intending to pay as I wasn’t aware of the free meal available at that time) on the Northbound side, the female (manager??) behind the counter was ‘having ago’ about the absence of passengers! Sadly (for them) I won’t be taking any in there in the future and will actually advise them to go to the Wimpy (?) instead.
Who’s loss now?
PS The Southbound seems fine!
