pearlt072 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Has anyone else had a flyer through the door from "Strategic traffic and infrastructure"? They're proposing not only re-add the bus stop across from ATV, and also convert the small parking layby to a pay and display. I must say, it's already a pain in the back side having busses idling in the area, with the racket they create. Not to mention the louts that have taken to congragating round this new "temporary" stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_N Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The changes and new bus stop have been in place for over a fortnight now. If you don't like buses, why chose to live near a road which has been a bus route since horse and cart days! Another NIMBY I suspect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little miffy Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Good evening, I thought that layby had been pay and display for a long time. The bus stop has been in use for a couple of weeks now as Michael says. They are a bit late posting your flyer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layby shows as P&D on Google streetview - picture dated July 17 - so it certainly isn't new. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.4009539,-1.4976365,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sC8k-rPU6esqBS7EWt1zK1Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Is this bus stop meant to relieve congestion in Hillsborough Interchange (by some buses not stopping in there any more)? If so it seems like a good idea to me. The bus station doesn't really work properly and causes traffic problems as buses try and get in and out.

Hello I think it may be because of the trams not running to middlewood so there are quite a few extra buses going in to the interchange at the moment. I agree, it seems like a good idea. The buses cause chaos at the bottom of Ripley street when they come out of the interchange and block all the road off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushtotalk Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I believe the land in question is and always has been owned by SYPTE and was originally a bus stop. But they have now decided to reinstate it as a bus stop for through services to reduce congestion in the interchange, which has long been a challenge and sees far greater use than originally built to cope with.

If you don't like buses, why chose to live near a road which has been a bus route since horse and cart days! Another NIMBY I suspect... I don't have a problem with living on a bus route. I take issue with the fact that busses are treating this "stop" as a place to idle for 10 minutes. ---------- Post added 14-06-2018 at 20:43 ---------- Good evening, I thought that layby had been pay and display for a long time.

It's the fact they're trying to make it permanent that gets my goat. ---------- Post added 14-06-2018 at 20:45 ---------- They are planning on making the following a pay and display.
