Ar least it appears they didn't do the same trick Diamond did with a Solo I was on last year & the driver pokes the door with a stick!

I've been on a Nat Ex E200 on the 43 up to Bilston before, that was having a similar issue! In that case though, I volunteered as the stick since I was sat at the front. :laugh:

Driver managed to hold the door open to let us all off, safer than using the emergency exit!

Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.
