Significant delay??

I doubt it was the breakdown that caused the significant delays more like the resealing of roads with all the road works happening on tauranga direct road.. I think 4 different road work sites alone on that highway between rotorua and tauranga.so blame the road works. Shouldn't be any this close to Xmas..
