Quote from: Wba_lad on May 02, 2024, 10:18:03 PMI'm not too sure, I know it had a window smashed which prevented it from going on the road, it came out on Tuesday on the 50 again, but not too sure if it did a full day in service or not. It would be nice to see it on other routes and not just the 50, it would be nice to put it on the 16A and maybe the 002.It will soon be time for the demo bus to go back home. Just remember one thing, Diamond have only got the bus for a month
Quote from: Stu on April 21, 2024, 04:30:49 PMI used SplitMyFare.co.uk last year, which works the same way. The 'charge' is a share of the saving made, up to 15%.I've just booked a tickets from Sheffield to B'ham. Paid £3.10 from Sheff-Derby £5.20 Derby to B'ham. Saved £15. Got the prices off SYT & booked each ticket individually on Trainpal
That's how these sites make money, so I have no objections to paying this, especially where the saving from buying split tickets is quite significant.
For example, if I wanted to go back to Penzance again next weekend, booking a 'normal' return journey would cost me £199.10.
Buying split tickets for the same journey reduces the cost to £126.50, a whopping £72.60 saving.
SplitMyFare then takes a 15% cut of that saving, which works out to £10.89. Total ticket price comes to £137.39. (I checked SplitYourTicket and that gave exactly the same result).
Now, if I look up the same journey on TrainPal, even with 'split tickets', the cost comes to £143.80, plus a £1.99 'split ticket fee'. So total cost of £145.79.
Looking closer at the details, TrainPal is not even splitting the tickets the same way as SplitYourTicket and SplitMyFare do, hence why the savings don't add up.
Of course, I could save the £10.89 'share' if I took the individual ticket details and then booked those journeys separately on either the CrossCountry or GWR websites.

I didn't say I didn't like them. Your the one making the initial complaint about bus stops being too close, but you appear to only want to complain about things. Carrs Lane to Square peg is not a close distance to some.
