Good job you didn't board a 632 then as my ugly mug was behind the wheel of one today...

To me, bus lanes are a complete waste of time. They achieve nothing apart from chaos on the roads. I've seen many situations where traffic is held up whilst everyone tries to move over into one lane instead of two, and buses are held up behind them, so it makes them late! Rather defeats the 'object' to me.

To me blocking the entrance to a bus lane like this should be illegal. But one of those things you csnt enforce

How can you make it illegal to 'block' the entrance to a bus lane? To do that you'd have to close the road altogether! What is traffic supposed to do? If they just left the roads alone in the first place there wouldn't be this problem.

I agree with you some bus lanes are waste of space, like the one on the main road between Morecambe and Lancaster, outside the college, I never seen a bus use it yet!

Then there other areas where there is no bus lanes, which could do with one! such as the hill between Walton-le-Dale and Preston, theres nearly as many buses as cars going up this hill

Just sighted ST 36104 heading down the Mottram Moor Glossop bound, displaying 11 Altrincham?
A possibility that it could be transiting a couple of drivers to Sheffield to collect the loaned buses back to Stockport and other depots

I think it will be doing Longendale Highschool in Mottram. Both HE and ST did do boards at longendale so my guess is a school rather than Sheffield.
