I wonder if Mr Yorkie's bus drivers will know where they are going.
However if they get lost, they can always ask the local PH boys for the best way.

Lost bus driver pays taxi to guide him RAIL passengers forced to catch a replacement bus service were left fuming after the driver got lost and finally had to pay a taxi driver to lead him to his destination. The bus took an hour-and-a-half to take them just 24 miles from Wilmslow to Crewe. And it was claimed that on the way, the driver pulled out a map to find the way while driving along the M56 - making his bus veer onto the hard shoulder. Passengers arriving at Wilmslow station last Sunday to travel to London were informed their train was delayed and they would have to get a replacement coach service to Crewe. Sam McCollum, 26, was on her way back to London after spending the weekend with her dad, Wythenshawe Hospital vascular surgeon Prof Charles McCollum. She described the journey: "Once we got on to the bus he (the driver) whipped out a map and he was reading it as he was driving along the motorway. "There were people at the front shouting at him to put the map down. He was veering into the hard shoulder. "After spending about 15 minutes on the M56, we spent the rest of the time winding along back roads towards Crewe. "At one point we ended up in a housing estate. In the end he found a cab driver and we followed him to the station. It was an utter farce." A spokesman for bus firm Fraser Eagle said: "We did use a vehicle for that route supplied by Andrews of Tideswell, who are one of our regular coach operators. "We've told them this is unacceptable; there is no excuse for a driver getting lost between Wilmslow and Crewe, and certainly not for reading maps on the route. ""We apologise to passengers on behalf of the company for what happened." |

Right Sussex let me explain though I shouldnt have to to someone as inteligent as you. if you drive a normal taxi and are sent lets say to Bents farm there could be 6 ways to get there. if you drive a bus there can only be one! hence the routes are sat navd now you were not so bright eh little feller? |
