Public transport user June Ellison, Darwen, has told Darwen Online of her disbelief of how poorly the local bus service is being run.
Her main complaint surrounds the timetable notifications which appear to be incorrect and misleading. Yet, according to Blackburn with Darwen Council’s strategic director of regeneration and environment, Adam Scott, all timetables have been up to date since April 19th.
However, June Ellison has since spoke to Mr Scott to inform him that information at a number of stops are still misleading. "It would be better to have no information at all than having to read incorrect timetables" she told us.
"The signs in the town centre have been updated but the information is still wrong! Information at Park Rd in Darwen also misleads people by reporting that no buses are available between 15:11 and 17:48 to Intack, Blackburn."
Even more confusing, it would appear that information on Darwen timetables claim that number 1 buses from Blackburn or Accrington terminate at Darwen Cemetery when, in fact, they actually terminate at Darwen town centre.
June Ellison, from Whitehall, says she feels sorry for those who rely on timetables and claims that she'd have no chance of knowing where the buses where going if she wasn't a regular user.
