After a long wait a realised that a Renault Van for Prestige Taxis of Washington had passed me that turned out to be the shuttle.
Not good for the OAP that had to manage the step in to the van with here shopping trolley also they are not following the timetable with the van sitting in Cone Terrace for longer than required.
Not surprised you missed it looking at that photo, I can barely see that free shuttle sign in the window pretty much hidden behind the tax disc. How are the elderly and disabled meant to get in that?
Should have gotten Scarlet Band or someone like that using a proper bus for this shuttle although that would cost more money to run.
