When similar emergencies occur and buses get diverted it would be nice for the drivers, who know about the diversions, to let the passengers know when they get on!!!! I have been on two journeys recently where the bus has gone off route to avoid an accident or road closure. Passengers see a bus stop and press the bell but the rules are such that they are not allowed off. The bus can only stop at designated bus stops for its route. I am a regular bus user and find it an excellent service apart from after 6pm when my 15 minute service changes to a 2 hour one. Last night I had to walk about a mile and a half to get home because the bus was diverted and the other week a lady with her two infants was shouting and cursing because of the situation. It would be nice to know what is going on.
