How did I fail to notice that you can get a bus to Asda?
I've been shopping in Sainsburys which is smaller and (slightly) more expensive all year when Buses I can take to Asda, with my Bus Pass it would seem were right in front of me all along. They leave from the bay opposite where the 2's,3's and 4's leave for the university and do have 'via Asda' written on them. I spotted one the other day and checked the timetable online yesterday, and found that they were one an hour. I went into town and got on one and asked the driver wether I could use my Bus pass on it, and the driver said 'probably not but get on anyway'. So I did. coming back an hour later with a backpack full of shopping I asked the driver said 'yeah' apparantly without thinking. So I'm not entirely convinced wether wither of them knew. The bus was only a minibus type thing so I do wonder if anyone else knows about it. I have a leaflet which tells me where the limits of the unirider are, but that doesn't make it clear which services the pass can be used on, and I don't know where many of the places in Morecambe on it are. It also doesn't tell me anywhere on the Stagecoach website where I can use it, so I don't know how I can find out except by trying it. I remember now that there used to be a free bus to Asda, but they axed it before the beginning of my first year (and at the end of my first year, they axed the free Sainsburys bus as well), so I guess no-one has ever needed to know wether they can get to Asda using their bus pass.
