the more I think some of these story's are made up,
like this one, Norfolk County Council introduced a bus lane earlier this month, which is used only by buses and cyclists, the route along Harding's Way, in King's Lynn, Norfolk, cost a cool £1.5million, but it has faced widespread criticism as nervous bus drivers are forced to drive at walking pace to make it through the narrow turns, it was officially opened by West Norfolk Mayor Zipha Christopher on March 14, but has barely been used since, bus drivers training on the route constantly clip kerbs while slowly weaving through the extremely tight hairpin turns,
the reason being that it is barely wide enough for buses, another problem is that there is a school nearby with no crossing for the kids but at several 'pinch points' the buses over hang the pavement and could injure a child waiting to cross, another waste of money on this route is the double yellow lines, on a road where private motorists are banned, but the council, ever ready to justify wasting public money insists, 'the lines applied to maintenance vehicles which needed to use the route', I guess the drivers that drive council vehicles do not realise if they stop for a tea break at the narrowest point the lane will be blocked! but back to the over hang of buses that could injure a child, where are Health & Safety when they should be on the scene?
