The replacement bus service back from Hertford was a bl**dy joke this afternoon. The bus due to leave at 15:40 didn't turn up until 15:50 - it left at 16:10 (When the next one should have been due) The driver didn't know where he was going and almost drove past the stop for Rye House. National Express clearly couldn't give a monkey's about the Hertford East branch now that they have lost the franchise.

A few years back we were waiting at Rye House for the hourly bus replacement service and after a while we saw it happily sail past the end of the road! [:(!] It was cold and dark and nearly led to divorce!

I think getting the buses to run at all was a miracle as at Cheshunt there were so many illegally parked cars on the road to the station and on the access road to the station car-park that the buses could not get through.The car park was totally full and as there was a Spurs game on there were a lot of extra vehicles coming to the station.At about 5-30 pm the whole area was grid-locked
