‘Smaller buses may be better’
Thursday 20th March 2008, 12:45PM GMT.
SMALLER buses would be better on narrow roads, the Environment Department has admitted.
The issue of size arose again at the weekend when an Island Coachways bus smashed into parked cars in Church Road, St Sampson’s, causing thousands of pounds-worth of damage. An Environment spokesman said the department’s board would look at the size of buses in the future.
But he said that the cost of having a mixed fleet could prove a stumbling block. ‘It’s something the board will be looking at because it will have to consider it if more buses are to be brought in,’ he said.

I’ve been visiting Guernsey for many years. It seems unbelievable, that the Environment Department is only now admitting that smaller buses wold be better! There has always been a problem on the narrow lanes-especially when roadworks mean that transport is diverted onto even narrower roads.
