WHY is it that when the central lane in Blossom Street was closed with cones due to Micklegate being shut, the bendy buses managed to negotiate the corner on to Queen Street, heading for the station?

When the lane is opened, they straddle both lanes.

Is it because, as a previous writer to The Press said, “they are causing more congestion than they ease”? Why do they cause congestion?
