This is Paignton Bus Station this afternoon and there are six number 12/12A s in a line. If all the buses were running to the time table there really should only be two max. But things have, as I have reported here several times recently, not been running well. Not our fault, honest. Road works that should have been finished 4 weeks ago are still holding buses up and as you can see in the picture below people parking their cars where they shouldn't just isn't helping. Unfortunately the driver of the white car had a good reason to be parked there outside the doctor's surgery. What reason? Oh yeah, "I'm just nipping in to see the doctor, I wont be a minute." The driver of the car believes that is a good reason even if No One Else does. Unfortunately No One Else wasn't there to object as the dirty deed was done and the bus came along later and got stuck. For several minutes at least, I was on the Bus Station when I heard about the problem and Midvale Road is 3 or 4 minutes fast walk away. Not that I walk fast these days. Not even to get a scoop like this one.
The guy in the Hi Vis jacket is the station controller trying to sort the mess out.
