Pick-Up Point

A couple of years ago Leger used to pick-up in the centre of Chichester at a purpose made bus stopping point next to the bus station and train station where it was very convenient for passengers to get to. Most coach companies still use this pick-up point.  According to Leger, when the crossing gates are down this leads to delays in their schedule so the drivers didn't like it although personally we have never experienced these 'delays'. Last year they changed it to another purpose built bus pick-up point at Chichester Gate which was fine, a little further from the bus and train stations but still easy to get to. The only problem was that some careful manoeuvring of the coach was necessary apparently and drivers didn't like it but we did. This year they have changed to a far less accessible pick-up point, a lorry park near to Waitrose. Leger say this is across from Waitrose but in actual fact it has nothing to do with Waitrose. It is three quarters of a mile for the bus and train stations and is not that easy to get to. It is basically rubbish bins and a disused toilet, not a very nice collection point at all and it is not intended as a coach pick-up point at all.
