RE: Northstar
Stand G is a nightmare with anything other than a Solo as you need to reverse and do a tight left turn while reversing not to bash into the railing while making sure you dont bash into the stand your leaving, meanwhile like Dan said the 9 is dumped there for upwards of 20 mins normally a full size, with a bus changing drivers too on what was formally Stand Z is a nightmare

Taking on the 21 and the 309

Dan means business
Wistfully stuck in the 90s
