VERY Late running services

As I started this thread, I've retitled it as VERY late runnings, as it's become a little tedious.  :-\

Can we just keep this to SPECTACULARLY late runnings, as in my original example of a service running over an hour late?

Buses will run late at times due to incidents and traffic, there's no need for people to report services running five or ten minutes late, as that's to be expected!

That is all, thanks!  8)

I don't think Stu was targeting you. I agree a convoy of 5 buses is worth a mention but there are some others on here who take the mickey reporting services less than 15 minutes late

Thing is it actually did it made be have a little chuckle to myself

I never said anyone was being targeted, just think as nobody had posted anything for 2 days before me, a friendly word was aimed at the wrong person is all. No harm done either way.

There was a gap of 25 minutes with no 9s where I was stood, possibly longer.

Blimey, must've missed 4805 by a whisker then

4804 was a 9E to Five Ways I think - do "E's" show up on your system?
