Well said Lettie, I totally agree with you. I served 17 years as a bus driver in Accrington and I found Lettie's dad one of the nicest people that anyone would wish to meet, and I cannot recall personally any incident where I have been rude to passengers but if we were talking about rude passengers then there would not be enough space on this thread to include them, and I am not generalising either. I made a lot of good friends whilst I was on the buses.
You should come with me and a few other Oswaldtwistle residents for a week or so on the bus runs. Its not just LU. Its the Rossendale bus service aswell. So I suppose I have stereotyped bus drivers for maybe just a minority of rude drivers. I appologise!

It was only yesterday when I arrived at the bus just as it close its doors, the driver was unimpressed and muttered "for f**k sake" under his breath as he had to open the doors again. What an awful shame it must of been for him. I chose not to take the matter to LU. As ive already complained many times.
