Londonderry: Another stuck bus sparks calls for better signs

A Translink coach getting stuck at the bottom of one of Londonderry’s steepest streets has led to fresh calls for better warning signs to stop it happening again.

Rush-hour traffic was severely disrupted on Thursday morning after the 212 Belfast to Derry service became wedged at Fountain Hill’s junction with Spencer Road.

A crane was used to hoist the coach free and eventually reopen the road.

It is not the first time a crane has been needed to shift a stricken vehicle and it’s only four weeks since another bus got stuck at the same junction.

These are just the latest incidents of a number going back several years, despite there being a number of warning signs on the roads approaching Fountain Hill.

Now traders on Spencer Road say more serious action is needed.
