on the other hand meters, centimetres or millimetres,
photographs York Press/SWNS well what ever you use it is a pity the bus company in York did not have a ruler, above is the problem, a low bridge, so what did First Bus do? they ordered a fleet that was a part of a £105 million scheme to introduce electric
buses and what did they fail to do? measure the buses! I kid you not! First Bus, which operates across Britain is introducing the e-buses as part of a drive to lower harmful emissions by 2035,
Holgate ward councillor Kallum Taylor told the Mail: "It's
farcical that Leeman Road has lost another bus service, that tunnel is well
known as being a problem. A double decker bus hit it a few years ago and the
whole upper deck got torn off, 'I am not sure how First went about their
decision, I do not know if they checked the height of the single deckers and
thought it was worth the hit and I do not know if they did not check, and they
have now realized they have got a problem now they have the buses", I guess a re-route is in order, a First York spokesperson said: 'The changes we introduced
in June included a re-route and extension of the 59 service and a new 10L to
mitigate alteration to the 10 service in this area, 'We are discussing options
to resolve the 59 stopping situation with the transport team at City of York
Council and expect to provide an update in the coming weeks.' Meanwhile their customers,
the paying public now have no service where there was one, the full article is here.
