Yes he/she probably realised they had made a common mistake when they got to the terminus and realised they couldn't get round the roundabout, first thing they should have done was radioed comm's (if radio was working) to get further instructions and not to do what has happened here and mount the roundabout which I find stupid and beyond belief, its something I wouldn't have done if I was a driver.

The official line from First was that the information regarding the diversion hadn't been given to this particular driver and he obviously attempted to get himself out of a tricky situation hoping colleagues or management wouldn't find out. I'm sure he's had a rollicking and is the laughing stock of the depot right now had there been passengers on board it may have been a different story.
