Now, back to the subject matter. I do not see a bus route on Hyndburn Road as being a viable option at all. My reasons are as follows :-

Access : Buses would have to divert down Henry Street/Dill Hall Lane to gain access to Hyndburn Road ... busy routes at the best of times.

Bus Stops: From the lights to the Fire Station ... no suitable off-loading points due to distance between lights .. and would block exits on many occasions for this Emergency Service. Fire station to end of Hyndburn Road roundabout, now double yellow lines, and why ? Because halting traffic would again interfere with flow of traffic on this gateway road.

Resident's access: How many resident's do have access to Hyndburn Road now ? ... a small handful (at the bottom of the streets on a few blocks) .. whereas on Blackburn Road ... population on either side.

Bus to Station on Peel Street: Would have to travel along Union Street .. gawd what a journey that would be, or along onto the ring road. Would improve though when we get the new bus station on Crawshaw Street.

Less's access to Railway: Further to walk from drop-off point over-riding his walk to pick-up point.

Need I go on ?? No, forget it in my opinion.
