Dreamliner turns into a Nightmareliner
We left Johannesburg Park Station in the Greyhound double-decker Dreamliner bus headed for Durban. At the Heidelberg weighbridge station we were stopped for being more than 2 tons overweight. Another Greyhound bus arrived soon after us and some passengers were offloaded onto this bus until it was full. We were weighed again only to find we were still well overweight. Greyhound then sent a bus from Johannesburg to pick up a number of our passengers. Eventually we were deemed to be under 15 tons (we were initially over 17 tons).<br> We then proceeded with much merriment from some passengers to the De Hoek Plaza where the passengers from the half empty bus disembarked and boarded our bus. I wonder if the N3 Toll Concession would be interested in this story as it seems to smack in the face of maximum weight regulations!<br> We then resumed our journey two hours late.<br> Other problems on this 13h30 bus out of Park Station:<br> 1. Left half an hour late (departure time was 14h00).<br> 2. A passenger saw ****roaches on the bus. <br> 3. There was no ventilation from Swinburne (when the new crew took over). At one of the stops along the way the driver had to be asked to turn on the ventilation.
