There is severe congestion in Northampton town centre today on the first working day of the town's new £7 million bus station.
The new North Gate station started running services this morning.
Many of the town's roads are gridlocked as buses queue to get into the new facility.
"We are currently on the scene at the bus station to find out what is happening and to get the area moving again as quickly as possible," said David Mackintosh, Leader of Northampton Borough Council.
