Ah, the joys of Stagecoach!

Was ours the only bus that got stranded in Kenilworth yesterday, or did Stagecoach fail to tell all of their drivers about the roadworks?...

Having, maybe up to a month ago, spotted several signs announcing the New Street road works in Kenilworth I was surprised to find our bus driver taking the normal term-time U1 route through the town. Lo and behold, when we came to New Street, it was indeed full of diggers and utterly impassable to buses. Thence followed a slow and awkward reversing process across the busy crossroads and a reversion to the X17 route. A delay of at leat 10 minutes.

Now, I found this experience amusing rather than irritating as I don't have to be at work at any specific time in the mornings, but how can Stagecoach have failed to notify their drivers of a complete change to their regular route?! Surely they must have been told about this, and if not, the signs have been so obvious that I've noticed them despite that I spend most of my time on the bus reading!
