Would come down Chester front street picking up and dropping off but then miss the market place out completely.
No idea if this happens now, but back then (when there wasn't an 8) it was quite a regular occurrence, so there was always a wait. The following bus would be often late too, having been caught in the same queues of traffic out of Sunderland.
It's a nightmare. I remember one night I got off at the hospital and ran up to The Wavendon. I had time to go home and get back to the bus stop (it had been an unusual allocation so I wanted to get a pic of it), and I still had a five or so minute wait for it to get back...
I'm nee Olympic runner either!
