Road works can play havoc with bus schedules (and a photographer's patience). First 50280 was running through Linfitts about half-an-hour late on this occasion and the driver is probably enjoying the opportunity to make normal progress again. It surprised me to realise that with First taking over this tender in July 2011 it was the first time this stretch of road had been served by buses of GMT or their successors since deregulation twenty-five years earlier.
