Today was Torbay Half Marathon Day. This is a race that starts in Paignton runs to Torquay back to Paignton and then does the complete round trip again, just over 13 miles. It involves closing a lot of the road between Paignton and Torquay for 2 and a half hours. In that time 12 or 13 number 12s in each direction have to be diverted over the Ring Road and through Preston. It does tend to add a lot to the journey time which is why this controller is looking anxiously up the road in the hope that the last runners have gone through and he can get the buses back on track again.
