Title: 666 - Halloween Service.
Post by: 2206 on October 21, 2019, 06:49:13 PM
Looks like this will be making a return, as it operated back in 2016 with 6702 as well.
Route is slightly different in 2019, no longer going up to Five Ways like I believe it did in 2016.

Really pleased to hear that nx are doing this again. It was great last time - staff really entered into the spirit of things if you'll pardon the pun. The people having a ride on the bus seemed to enjoy it immensely as well. Anything like this is, I would imagine, is also good for the company's image. Not enough large companies display the genuine human touch nowadays in my opinion.

On NX website that due to antisocial behaviour last night, tonight's service is cancelled.

Correct @2206. I was just alighting from the bus when it happened. I think some kids let some fireworks off upstairs and outside of the bus. It turned into absolute chaos with loads of people pushing past everyone and running off the bus. It was absolutely disgusting behaviour from a small minority of people. It did well too with every trip being full and standing...

After what happened last time I very much doubt it people setting fireworks off on the bus
