My good lady wife and I had a very enjoyable 5 days back in the old town staying in a lovely little B&B on the Little Orme. We chose this B&B for 2 reasons, a good write up from trip adviser (we weren’t disappointed) and ample parking. We intended to leave the car and travel into and back from town by bus. I must stress that it was during the high temperatures experienced last month. So far so good, however some of the drivers were downright surly and uncooperative, one particular chap (we came across him twice) took a perverse pleasure in going past the stop you rang for to the next stop. We are both fit so it didn’t really matter except for the earache I got from my good lady. On another occasion with the temperature in the 80s, the bus stopped opposite the coach park for 15 minutes in the sweltering heat (3 passengers got off and walked, to where I have no idea) whilst the driver awaited his lunch break relief who eventually turned up in a car that the off duty driver then got in and drove off, unbelievable. After the fourth day we discovered a taxi from top of town to our B&B was £4.80 whereas the bus fare for 2 singles was £5.20? so guess what we opted for after that? much more pleasant! Just a gripe to get it off my chest really. However it was sad day, in my opinion when Crossville and to some extent the Red Buses ceased operating!
