Default Clear the Roads, Ray is on his way

Tomorrow, Tuesday 5th September 2017, I will be driving a tri axle coach from Wigan to York, returning late afternoon.
The timing is 09:00 t0 19:00.
Route is East lancs Road, M62, M1, A1(M), A64 and A19 into York, returning in opposite direction.
I'll be parking in Union Terrace Coach Park.

You have been warned

It's York you need to be warning Ray.

Are they prepared for a coach-full of Wiganers, and have they stocked up enough on pies?

It is now safe on the roads, my coach is back in it's den and I'm home safe but not sound, remember I am certified.
The party today was mainly older ladies from the local Methodist Church and they seemed to dine on chish and fips. I had a late lunch including poggy seas.
The problem was that I was driving a 14 metre tri-axle which is a little large for places like York.
