Today there was a parade through the city today to mark the homecoming of 11 Light Brigade. The march ended at The Broadway which I wrote about in the Bus station closed posting of a few days ago. Naturally, with the bus station still closed this caused a big logistical problem. Departure and set down points were spread around but none were too far from the bus station. The biggest headache was answering the passengers questions about where does the 2, 69, 4, 11, 5 etc go from? Half of my day was spent at the closed end of the Broadway answering these questions.

The lintel problem at the bus station has now been resolved after a full structural survey. The lintel is not concrete as at first thought but steel. People were fooled into thinking it was concrete because it had concrete rendering on it and it was the rendering only which was breaking up. They’ve simply knocked off the rendering so no more falls down and the bus station will be fully open again tomorrow.
