I pay £12.50 a week to travel to and from st marys college (£2.50 a day return from accrington)

I wouldn't mind that much BUT... the bus is *always* late, sometimes it is 40minutes late, it has even been known to miss out the main accrington stop. The buses (blackburn transport) are a heap of rubbish, never clean, always full of spit and whatever else from a school run.
Often the windows are jamed open on a cold morning, frozen open before on a very cold morning with all frozen condensation on the roof and stuff. Bloody freezing when you're driving and have that wind blowing at you.

What really ticks me off is the fact that the company still get £2.50 even when they're 40minutes late, because there is nothing we can do except stop paying, but most people don't want to carry out direct action because it causes them too much inconvinence, and unless everyone does it, nothing we can do. Also, a lot of people have bus passes so not taking the bus through direct action wouldnt stop the money..
