Coach 9 yesterday

[Garry Mann]

Yet more complaints about STAR.

Coaches getting lost, people getting left behind.

What a shambles.

Be fair, Aggro, it wasn't STAR who was at fault here, it was the coach driver. Unless he/she was a member of STAR?

I find it amazing that the coach company aren't prepared to invest a couple of hundred quid per coach for satnav.

I understand that if he hadn't stopped at a red light - despite being part of a police convoy which means he could ignore the red light - he would have still been in touch with the rest of the coaches and they are big enough to follow easily with that horse on the back.

I wonder if he will drive a coach for STAR again

I doubt that would be correct unless the convoy included enough police to stop traffic at the lights, dangerous to just cruise through otherwise.

I'm not surprised someone got lost, I've never seen such dreadful signposting around a place before and not just the fact that Eastlands or the City of Manchester Stadium are not signposted anywhere apart from right outside the place - in fact if they hadn't have a picture of a football next to the Sportcity sign plenty would probably have sailed right by the turnings to it.

Add to that the badly signposted fact that the link road from the M56 to M6 was closed and its no wonder people were delayed.

I think we've found coach nine's driver!

The police were holding up the traffic even before everyone was on the coaches - as we witnessed when walking back to the car.
