Nice to be Appreciated



When I went into work today it was nice to see this notice on the notice board. We all worked hard on Monday afternoon, some drivers finishing work over 2 hours late due to the problems created by the flooding. A little note like this lets us out there at the bus stops and stuck in the diversion know that some one appreciates the effort we put into keeping an effective service running.


Most passengers also stated their thanks that we continued to provide the service despite the massive traffic jams that built up around the Bay as traffic was diverted to avoid flooded roads.


For the last two days it has been a bit chaotic as buses moving up and down Fleet Street have had to dodge the council trucks and the workmen relaying the roadway. The hole in the road shown in the photo below has now been made as good as new. This wasn't a fill with tarmac job either, hundreds of blocks had to be carefull set in place with the workmen some times working only inches away from the wheels of passing double decker buses. Well done those council workmen.

About time the whole lot was re-done

There are plans to completely revamp Fleet Street, but alas not the money.
