(14 Feb 2015, 11:29 pm)idiot However quite a few drivers exceed the 20 speed limit...
Holmeside was completely gridlocked about half an hour ago because a driver of the 33 stood outside of The Point and was having issues with a customer (so it seemed from a distance) and there was a van and about six buses behind the 33. As such, none of the buses on the other side could move. Buses heading towards Wilkinsons were backed up as far as Hays Travel. There was no chance of any driver exceeding the 20mph speed limit!
Getting down to Fawcett Street, the driver of my 2/2A was forced to use the stand which Stagecoach's 3 service uses (ie the stop closest to Wilkinsons) because, if he didn't, he would have been blocking the road completely. Matters are made worse by the 8 and 20 laying over here opposed to outside of Mowbray Park. All passengers had to run from the bus stop the 2 is meant to use to the one closest to Wilkinsons.
St. Mary's Way this morning... Gridlocked for half an hour. I cannot believe it took that amount of time to get from the Wheatsheaf to Park Lane. The driver dropped people off outside of the police station in the safest place possible as one woman was already late for work and she was complaining that this was making matters worse as the driver didn't go via John St / Holmeside like they usually do when the traffic is so bad on St. Mary's Way.
