Could have done with you two years ago. I was marshalling at the junction of Knifesmithgate, Cavendish Street and Stephenson's Place. The number of people who asked me where their bus was going from due to the closure was ridiculous. Do I look like a walking timetable?
We had some chaps in town to try and tell folks about where buses were leaving from during race. Trouble is if you have a high viz jacket on, even if your nowt to do with buses, they will home in on you. A bit like wasps.
It was funny to watch the "sunday driver" going through town with various roads closed, just stopping in normal traffic, with no idea where to go.
My only gripe on the day was roadworks on west bars roundabout - markham road at the end was coned off into one lane only.
Still, it was all done well, i even brought some Pink lasses in to town on the bus. If it was left up to me I would have brought them in for free, but I'm not allowed that option.

When I finally drove out of town down Saltergate, about 9.40am, the back of the town hall was a sea of pink  :)
I was going to stop and take a shot, then thought better of it  8)
Plus there were cars pulling up dropping last minute attendee's off all over the place.

Strangewood - got some 39's tomorrow as well, oh and wednesday. Oh and thursday!!
After thursday got two weeks off.
Actually take lots of money on 39's on dayriders which justifies the buses frequency.
They are nice buses too, TBH, my favourite. Still get the occasionate "White Storm Cider" swigger though. :))
