Yes, sometimes when your moaning about the 11 being held up, someone else is dying as this poor lorry driver did.

No need for that Tony.

Condolences to the driver & his family, but that doesnt alter the fact the service is regularly having issues, even without a fatal RTC added into the mix.

I'm surprised no one flagged it at the review.

So ask the councils why they are doing nothing about traffic congestion that the buses are stuck in. No-one at National Express wants late buses. Most drivers hate being late. If the timetable was stretched out to give enough time on the worst days you would soon be moaning about drivers parking up for 5-10 minutes waiting time on days when it wasn't as bad.

Like what you do on the 4H you mean in peak times, giving excessive timing.
