Out of curiosity what is 'state of the art' ? A roof and electronic timetables ?

Yes, part of it .. including toilets, good turning circles and decent access, with a little bit more room for those carbon emissions to escape.
You are only against it because you fear it will take trade away from your own business.
Of course, someone can always say "well, this needs doing and that needs doing" .. just this is the area of transport and not other areas.

Sure I am not on my own with this one .. just the moaners that usually have their say on web sites: not always the supporters.

How about being sensible for a change??? Instead of building (or trying to) a bus lane why not get double yellows on all major bus routes?? Believe it or not there are lots of us who do use buses. It ain't rocket science on how to get traffic moving IMHO.

Further out of town !! Crawshaw Street is hardly that Bernie.. would have been about 100 metres to the Arndale .. can't get nearer than that.
Double yellow lines ?? Well ... that is the main objection, that nobody will have been able to park on this bus route. At least provisions were being made for parking in other areas. Mainly for private parking, by the way.

I know we go on about Blackburn Road Garinda. To be honest, I have never been held up once on this stretch due to congestion.
Well, I am sure you will all be smugly smiling by the cuts today by our coalition government ... 5% off Transport Departmental budget .. so that will stop us in our tracks of looking forward to happy motoring and improved public transport.
