Latest Service Update on 21/12/10

Uno
Operations bulletin: Tuesday 21 December 2010 at 1430

Most services are operating normally with the following exceptions:

602 not serving Porters Park, Shenley
621/622 not serving Victor Smith Court in Bricket Wood
655 not serving Doggetts Way, St Albans (buses are operating via King Harry roundabout)
St Albans local services :
• Buses towards New Greens are operating as far as the City Hosp[ital and Batchwood Drive only
• No service to Cottonmill at the current time

The Company will make representation to the local authority about the continuing poor state of the roads served by regular bus routes. At present it is too hazardous to serve these estate roads because of the narrow width of the carriageway caused by parked cars which means that when buses have to give way on an uphill gradient, as they will invariably have to do, they cannot move away again due to lack of traction.
The Company has a team of officials conducting regular checks on the condition of roads not currently being served

Update on uno services on Monday 20th December 2010 at 14.30hrs

All buses are on the road but are subject to delays for a variety of reasons:
• Due to poor state of roads there are major traffic hold ups at main town centres and major roundabouts and junctions
• The freezing temperatures are causing the air systems to freeze on some vehicles
In addition many side roads are impassable due to lack of gritting
The following sections of route are currently not being served;
602 Unable to serve Shenley due to very poor condition of Shenley Hill. Buses are operating from London Colney via Harper Lane , Radlett Road and then Park Road and vice versa. Battlers Green Estate and Aldenham Village are not being served

621 Not serving Bricket Wood/How Wood.
622 As above
632 Still subject to congestion at London Colney roundabout
634 Operating direct into Hemel via St Albans Road (instead of Adeyfield Road)

655 Not serving Doggetts Way , St Albans or Gateshead and Hertforde Roads in Borehamwood
