Stagecoach 34530 on InterConnect 100
Following on from my picture of it on St Mary's Street, where it was already around 10 minutes late at 17:50, here's 34530 emerging from the worst of the diversion traffic and turning onto Carholme Road at 18:29... yes; that's 39 minutes later and the distance travelled is just shy of half a mile, or 800 metres in metric... basically between there and here it's done 0.75 miles per hour the whole way - I've seen a Little Tikes Cosy Coupe powered by a toddler go faster.
Again, the lack of traffic in the photo seems to contradict the situation, but the strange traffic light timings might have something to do about that, as I think things would flow a bit faster if all of the road was utilised all of the time. Another misleading thing is the 'not in service' blind on the front of the bus, which is lying because it's actually working a 100. I can only assume that being a Scunthorpe Dart, nobody expected it to end up loaned to Gainsborough and put on the 100, so they didn't programme the blind (although it has the 107 on, so IDK).
