2 June 2010 08:2554540This was the scene just before eight this morning at St Radigund's Road. Motorists heading for Coombe Valley totally ignoring the "Buses Only" and "No Entry" signs and being surprised by buses coming down the road. The white van, which seems to be a permanent fixture doesn't help. Knowing that this road is one way cars and vans enter at some speed only to be confronted by a bus partially hidden by the van. A few use Eric Road rather than the signed official route via Hillside Road.
And no, I can't really suggest an alternative.
Answers on a postcard please.

2 June 2010 09:2954549Thanks Sue. Perhaps Stagecoach might consider a bigger sign in the bus shelter by Watling Tyres, people still wait there!
And as for Hillside, you get halway up and get confronted by a car transporter coming down. I'm glad I don't live there.

You got our Sue to post on DoverForuym from her exalted garrett at Fort Whitfield. Well done you.
Sue, good to know they've provided communication equipment for you to talk to us. Just waiting for my white horse to arrive, then I'll come up and rescue you from the clutches of Watty. Hi Ho Silver!!!! Oops, wrong historical age, but you get the gist.
