James vs. Thamesdown buses
In case you were wondering where I was today, I was involuntarily absent due to a series of very unfortunate events.
Event 1: I bought a Travelpass for the entire week, allowing my to travel to and from school, via bus, at my leisure. However, it turns out to be way more expensive than I anticipated, leaving me with about 3 quid left.
Event 2: The number 19 I used was twenty minutes early, forcing me to mill around Asda for half an hour before the 53 comes to take me to Purton. I go in MacDonalds and spend what i have left.
Event 3: When the 53 arrives, I’m told my travelpass isn’t valid in Purton. Obviously, if I had been told this prior to buying it, I wouldn’t have spunked 11 quid on it. I am left with no way to get to school.
Well, I’ll have to revise at home. Shame. I’ll just take the 19 home then. Until….
Event 4: The 19 that is supposed to take me down Cartwright Drive goes to the Outlet Village. I later find out “there are two types of 19 bus…”
Event 5: There isn’t another 19 (I double-checked this one) for twenty minutes, having seen it (this bit nearly made me scream) drive by whilst i was getting off the “wrong” 19 on the other side of the road.
Fortunately, thats where the bad things ended. After wandering around the Outlet, I catch the correct bus and finally go home, an hour after getting told my travelpass won’t work.
Oh. except one last thing…
Event 6: Get laughed at hysterically be sister who is home from College. Am likely to hear the end of it for weeks.
