Passed loads of coaches on M62 from York.

Don't we have buses in Barnsley any more?

 

Saw one of the buses on the hard shoulder on way back, with smoke coming our of the engine compartment at the back - All the reds fans were leaning on the barrier, settling back for a long wait. Wonder how they are getting on..

 

Mechanical genius on board fixed it, crawled all the way in the slow lane at about 40mph & got back in town just before 6pm

 

good to hear - looked like you were there for the long haul, gauging by the colour of the smoke coming from the engine!

 

A large number of the free buses were from York. Our driver was a Leeds fan (and got lost twice), kept trying to read some instructions on a sheet of paper whilst driving!

This driver also drove Reds to Wembley so I assume his company put in a good quote to the club, there were about 10 York coaches.

It was a Globe coach broke down on the M62, there were 2 empty seat area near us so not sure if they made it?

 

Ours broke down on the way back, the Globe coach (Hoyland Reds I believe) was on the way there and I think they made it
