SOUTH KENSINGTON - CHISWICK BUSINESS PARK
New electric buses started to appear

BE37039 Bollo Lane, Acton

 

This selfish driver has just arrived on the dead run from S Garage to start work at Chiswick Business Park but instead of going into the Business Park decided to park on the stop just north of the level crossing, leave the bus and sit on the pavement and check his phone, meanwhile his leader has left the terminus and cannot get round causing chaos in Bollo Lane.
