Fullers are having a run of bad luck, Not only did the Jetraider collide with Devonport Wharf but the same day a couple of their buses came together in shattering style.

Seems that Fullers weren’t finished yet and proceeded to connect the Quickcat with the upper passanger gantry at Matiatia.

So Fullers have finally conceded that the Quickcat is in fact the Slow Dog and can’t do the run in the touted 35 minutes. Tell a story often enough and people will believe it. Instead of beefing up the horsepower,  or simply opening the throttle, Fullers have decided that in order for the punters meet their connecting bus and trains, wait for it,  the 7:20 will become the 7:15 from early October. Trust Fullers to be on the cutting edge of progress.

So while Mr Hudson is blaming the stench that permeated the Superflyte on a broken fan can he please explain why it is necessary to pump out the sewerage tanks on the Quickcat as the passengers depart the 7:20. If anyone has Doug Hudson’s mobile number we would like it so we can text hum every time we have to pass through that vomit inducing stench.

The Quickcat returned to service from routine maintenance, during which we were forced to suffer the  Vomit Comet, sporting smart new air conditioner units that proceeded to piddle on it’s passengers. A slight oversight in design it appears, but instead of shutting it down until a solution is reaches Fullers staff have taken to placing paper plates with Wet Seat written on them to warn passengers.

It was with some amusement, well okay, it was seriously funny, to see the newly installed Air Conditioner units on the Quick Cat (or is that ickcat) piddle all over passengers last Thursday. I am guessing a line will be added to the operation manual that the Air Conditioning must only run in flat conditions. It was certainly worth putting up with the Jet Raider.
