Slowcoach

One of the regular users of the 55 A/B service, tells us that she got on a bus from Exeter the other day and realised that the bus was proceeding at a snails pace. On enquiring from the driver what was causing the bus to proceed so slowly, she was told that the vehicle would not do more than 30mph. I bet he was popular on the A396.

Assuming that the problem was mechanical in nature, one is again left wondering why a multinational transport firm like Stagecoach cannot keep their buses better maintained.
