You couldn't make this up - especially as ColinR was saying only last
weekend that his wife refuses to use the Ely - Cambridge RRP because last
time she did, the bus got lost.

I was on a Lincoln to Nottingham late night RR service a few years back, it
must look different in the dark because I found myself having to direct the
driver - it was obvious he didn't know the roads as he'd come to a junction
and hesitate before choosing the most likely option. I wouldn't have taken a
54 seater coach down some of the roads he was using, and much manoevering
was often needed on especially tight corners.

Some friends and I once came out of the gates on the right here[1] to
find a large tourist coach beginning to back up this road after
realising it wasn't going to fit underneath the arch. We had to yell at
the driver because he clearly hadn't spotted the small hatchback
immediately behind him.

it operated as a garden centre and had a small shop/tea room.
