Nearly got wiped out by a Saab on Saturday attempting to turn right onto Maude Steet as I was bang on the apex heading out.
And to add insult to injury he sounded HIS horn in disgust!!!
If he wasn't local, and had got to that position behind a bus, van or lorry, he probably didn't see the signs!!
To make that system work, they (CCC) should purchase the old Babyworld site, demolish it, and make a decent junction, which articulated lorries can negotiate without swinging out wide, and put a central barrier up.
They should call Stagecoaches bluff, and tell them to pi** off out of Kendal, instead of making US council tax payers pay for the subsidy they have just been given, and allow somebody else to run a decent service which pays mostly for it's self. Only the needy should get a subsidy, in the form of travel tokens!!
When Lancaster's Blue bus co. tried to establish a service to Windermere, Stagecoach ran buses 5 minutes in front and behind, to make sure there were no passengers to get on the Lancaster buses.
As soon as Lancaster caved in and abandoned the service, they went back to the crap service they had always provided!!
Staveley to Windermere for three adults and four children £13.60
At those prices I thought we were getting shares in the company!!
