I have seen those traffic jams today. I got on a bus at Ossy library at 2.40pm - on reaching the roundabout at Guide there was crawling traffic from Guide to the hospital. That short part of the journey took 25 minutes.-- I suppose there were school run mums swelling traffic flow at that time of day.

I was an hour early for my appointment but I only had to wait 30 minutes because the person before me didn't show up (poor soul probably stuck in traffic). I got out about 4.15pm and the rush hour had already begun, but I managed to get the little (last) hospital bus for the same route back -- chocablock to Guide roundabout again-- 25 mins again.

There was an ambulance struggling to get through it all - it must be giving the poor ambulance chaps nightmares.

The access to the hospital will have to be improved or some people will be dying on the way there
