BUSES in Basingstoke town centre were delayed for around 20 minutes yesterday due to a crash, Stagecoach has confirmed.

Residents at the train and bus station were stuck waiting in the afternoon on Wednesday, April 30, for their buses to arrive, as they were trapped.

The incident happened around 1pm, impacting afternoon commutes.

The vehicles were trapped due to an incident between a motorcycle and a van outside Festival Place, which blocked buses from leaving the station.

A spokesperson for Stagecoach South confirmed that bus services were delayed due to the crash.

They added: "We can confirm there was an incident between a motorcycle and a van outside Festival Place on the 30th April."

"Our services were delayed for approximately 20 minutes whilst the incident was cleared and vehicles could exit the bus station."
