A car had parked in the disabled bay directly opposite the barriers in Stert Street, bringing traffic to a halt as a 35 bus could not squeeze through. A couple of policemen arrived but the car’s driver could not be found.
Minutes ticked by, and the traffic queue grew longer and backed up Vineyard and Stratton Way. Then a man in a yellow hi-viz jacket, possibly from the bus company, took charge at the side of the bus and the policeman at the front. The bus slowly inched forward. Hi-Viz Man pulled back the barriers just enough so that the bus could squeeze through.
Other buses and lorries were able to follow with inches to spare.
