'Castle Street upgrade is vital'
EARLIER this month, Stagecoach ramped-up calls for measures to reduce congestion in Hull city centre.
Graham Renshaw, assistant operations manager at Stagecoach, said punctuality has suffered due to traffic hold-ups in Ferensway.
He believes the only way of solving the problem is to press ahead with plans for the £168m upgrade of Castle Street at the Mytongate junction.
Mr Renshaw said: "Plans for the Mytongate junction upgrade are vital if we are to encourage more people to leave their cars at home and use the city's buses."

The Mytongate improvement scheme proposes lowering Castle Street to allow traffic between Ferensway and the Marina to cross above.
The are also ambitious proposals to create a "land bridge" over the A63 at Castle Street for pedestrians between the city centre, Hull Marina and the old Fruit Market.

“Crazy, crazy Hull City Council.
I have, probably along with many others, watched the gridlock between Hedon Road and Castle Street get gradually worse because of the pathetically inept road network. All the while the council have actively encouraged industrial expansion all along this route which has, obviously, only served to compound the problems!
Thankfully, mainly due to the residents of Hedon & Preston, and no thanks to the council, the proposed incinerator was not built at Saltend. Heavens can only imagine how much more this would have compounded the issue, with what would have seen a massive increase in hgv vehicles, and our crazy council would have been quite content to watch this happen as they actively encouraged it!”
