MY wife and I had an appointment in town at 10am. We boarded a bus at 9am to find that Holgate Road was closed, and all traffic was diverted on to Hamilton Drive.

I was amazed to find half the road was closed due to more road works. On arrival at the station at 9.35am, we set to town – 25 minutes later we arrived at Rougier Street.

We were advised by the driver to walk into town as road works on Ouse Bridge were causing further delays.

We walked from Rougier Street arriving at our appointment 20 minutes late.

From now on I will use my car.

Mr E Carter, Marston Crescent, Acomb, York.
