Yes, the X1 was late away caused by congestion from both Konect Bus and National Express. <br />Konect has procured itself a 'presence' on stands 1 & 2 at Norwich Bus Station, much to it's advantage. Bus services to Dereham leave from stands 1 & 2, yet bus services to Wymondham & Attleborough are split between distanced stands of 2 & 5. Should all bus services to an area leave from just one stand?<br />Anyway, Konect on 1 & 2, I unloaded on 9. While unloading, 2 became clear. I proceeded to 2 before my 16.25 departure, to find that the 16.30 X6 had pulled onto the bay before his '5 minute' loading window of 16.25. I loaded on bay 1. National Express already had a coach parked on bay 3 and another coach came in, pulled behind the existing coach and to the offside of the Konect X6.<br />It was some time before the rear National Express coach pulled away. Thus causing congestion to both myself and teh 16.30 X6.Des Speednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662025305066570199.post-4862558009333387302012-08-27T23:04:05.209+01:002012-08-27T23:04:05.209+01:00I can tell you that I am merely reporting what I w...I can tell you that I am merely reporting what I was told. Here is the full quote :<br />"Arrived Norwich 16.19, could not get onto Stand 2 (Konnect 8 on 1 and Konnect 6 on 2). We dropped off on a P&R stop, 2 cleared, We went for it only to be beaten by another Konnect bus!!. Loaded on stop 1. Departed at 16.29, 2 National Express parked on stop 3, blocking both Konnect and myself. They finally moved at 16.33 (-8 on departure)"<br />This means that the X1 arrived a minute early, hardly 'very late' I might give your comments more credence if you didn't hide under the 'anonymous' label, but thanks for your input anyway.

Konect bus just arrived and was waiting behind it. Not sure how this is their fault?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
