Re: R.I.P
I heard on Rock FM this morning that it was a double decker bus, not your ordinary mini or single decker. You would think they would have MORE care with a BIGGER bus. But i agree with happyone and Mik, that bus station is a complete mess.
My thoughts and prayers are with the ladies family too. |

Re: R.I.P
Condolences to this ladies family.
Don't think we should be putting any names here as it wouldn't be appropriate, but will message you Jo.

Re: R.I.P
This was a tragedy waiting to happen and my thoughts go out to this lady's family, the state of our bus station is appalling.

Re: R.I.P
Its really sad what has happened, i heard it on the radio about 6.30 pm, thing is though it will only be a matter of time before a taxi knocks somebody over and hurts them, has anybody noticed them racing round to get to a £2 job ?

Re: R.I.P
A tragady waiting to happen.
The family are in all our thoughts. I have just one word for the council people. Bollards. Back to to stones and statues. They pay all that money for a stupid things to be errected in the middle of roads and towns but make a song and dance about paying good money to make a bus station that is safe. |

Re: R.I.P
i agree with all it is a tragedy, an accident waiting to happen. and bordercollie is right about the taxis, and as mentioned before on accy web the padestrian area outside townhall is like a race track, unless police and councill clamp down i feel there is potential for more tragedies. my deepest sympathy is with the ladies family...
