Quote from: Tony on October 16, 2023, 06:51:49 PMThe photo shows the initial cause, but the delays are caused by idiot Uber drivers just going around in circles, Moor Street, Carrs Lane, High Street, Dale End, Albert Street, Moor Street because some of them are to thick to realise the way out is to carry on down Dale End under the bridge, buses that arrived at 10:30 this morning didn't move for 70 minutes this morning because the whole loop was full of Uber idiots, presumably the same is happening tonight. I watched several going round at 16:00 when I went to catch my train

I saw what looked like some transport officers arrive eventually this evening going over and speaking to the drivers.

Not just taxis though, some general cars. I thought Moor St was bus and taxi only?
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Cars can come along Moor Street turn right into Carrs Lane and then leave either via Dale End or Albert Street and Moor Street
