Isn't it funny how all 3 drivers and all 3 managers all came up with the same quotes!

Bus problems delay athletics fans heading for Hampden www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-28513536Hundreds of Glasgow 2014 spectators have been left disappointed as they missed the start of the athletics at Hampden Park waiting for shuttle buses. There were also complaints about the wait at turnstiles at the venue itself. David Fuller told BBC Scotland shortly after the athletics began at 14:30: "We got to the park and ride about 1pm and have only just got on a bus now

I'm sorry but if you turn up for a bus just 90 minutes before the event is due to start you're asking for trouble. Going by the queues on the Wharfedale Line when the Tour de France came to Ilkley 3-4 hours would seem to be more appropriate.

People who missed Commonwealth Games events due to transport problems in and around Glasgow at the weekend have been told they can apply for refunds. Full Story: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-28542350'Crazy' planning The official said it was usual for bus schedules for large sporting events to be drawn up weeks in advance. The schedules to support the athletics at Hampden in Glasgow, the official said, were still being finalised days before the travel problems over the weekend. This was "crazy", the official said, and led to problems with drivers having to be reassigned to avoid breaching working time regulations.

23 drivers from Geldards have gone up too Have they taken a bus with them? Or the fleet? First paying for all drivers return train tickets & accommodation.

Standing outside the depot on Saturday minding my own business only to have the local police ask me to move on as the depot manager (female) did not like it.
