Snow day!

07 Jan 2010

Snowy day today/Last Night!!

All buses today were keeping well away from estate roads, and as a result there was very few passengers about. Reports that MK Council has run out/is close to running out of grit has meant that none of the estates have been gritted tonight, So all the roads are frozen solid now :( Should make it interesting in the morning….

Wolverton Park… The most connected estate?!

13 Dec 2009

Wolverton Park has to be, quite possibly, one of the most well connected estates in Milton Keynes for Public Transport, What with Wolverton Rail Station being right beside the development, and at least 7 bus routes passing nearby, You must be able to get to every part of MK.

Route 7A – New Bradwell – Great Linford – Neath Hill – City & Rail Stn – Shenley Lodge – Furzton – Beltchley

Route 33 – City & Rail Stn – Havensham – Castlethorpe – Hanslope – Northampton

Bus routes that start at Wolverton Agora, just a few minutes walk away:

Route 4/4A – Stony Stratford – Kiln Farm – Stacey Bushes(4A) – Heelands(4A) – Two Mile Ash(4) – Great Holm(4) – City & Rail Station – Springfield – Hospital – Whaddon Way – Bletchley

“You can get a bus through there!”

10 Dec 2009

10122009168

This is the end of the School day at Two Mile Ash School, It’s always like this at half 3.

The cars on the left of the picture are actually parked, with the right hand side being the queue of traffic behind the bus.

As you can see, the bus in the picture is waiting to go, But cant because theres a load of parked cars infront of him and he can’t get past, and the same for me in my bus….. So we sat there for 15 minutes and had a chat lol.

Once he could finally go, some of the car’s pulled up along side of me and asked why i wasn’t moving as I was apparantly “blocking it all up”…. Clearly they can’t see the parked cars or the fact that the bus is around 30 odd foot long and can’t just nip between the gap. Lol @ some people, They really don’t have a clue!

If only we’d been sitting 100ft further down the road I could’ve jumped out the bus, and popped through the front door of me house for a sandwich lol.
