My problem was at the junction at the top of the road from Collin street where you turn right off of the tram tracks. That turning is for buses and wheelchair accessable taxis only as I found out. It is covered by a camera or two.

is that what the sign actualy said or was it buses and taxis only????


That is the correct signage, although there are also cycles on there. Comically, the left turn does allow access for loading after 8 and before 10 if I remember correctly.

Lots more cameras coming online on the 5th.

Do you mean the entrance to the Broadmarsh Bus Station?

I believe grandad is referring to the junction at the top of Fletcher Gate.

ref "bus lanes"...

talking to a guy last week, he used to be a bathroom tiler, and had several weeks work in central london

he has a scudo MPV which was registered as a "minibus" on the V5 (dont ask, i dont know)

anyway he used the bus lanes every day for a few weeks whilst staying near london and travelling in and out daily

gets back home to cornwall to a pile (£thousands) of fines for using the lanes

anyway, TCALSS he ended up in court, told the judge his vehicle is registered as a minibus and the judge threw all the (many) cases he had against him out


You couldn't make it up could you.

You couldn't but I bet he did.


i have no reason to doubt him, i know how it sounded, i was sceptical but lets take it on face value....odder things have happened
