Bad News (well not that bad really)

I went into work yesterday and there was a notice on the notice board, handy place to put a notice. We had been expecting this notice. It was about the new rosters to replace the emergancy duties we have been doing during the sea front road closure, I'm sure I have mentioned the sea front closure once or twice in the last 4 weeks. Anyway the road was supposed to open for buses and other big things on Friday March 7. Our week starts on a Monday so the new duties would start on March 10. But the notice was headed "New Rosters to start March 17" What a blow.



What's happened is the cliff face is too unstable and bits of rock, after sitting there not moving for millions of years have decided to go some where else, i.e. down onto the road. What a time to take a holiday. So and extra week of running round the diversion.

Mind you, you wouldn't want a slab of rock like this trying to get on the bus would you? No money to pay it's fare for one thing.

I was wondering what they think they are going to do with the clifface.

I can't wait for the first landslide.

That post from DOUM may have malicious content!!!

As for the rock ~ "been there for millions of years", so it should qualify for free travel on grounds of age.

Cripes! Delete Doum!
It'll be single carriageway for up to 12 months in Rock Walk

2 way? Imagine that...
NCP would have to keep constant patrol. It's guaranteed that some old person would park on there if that happens. Blocking all buses. Either that or the police put out cones, restricting the width enough to make it impossible for 2 buses to pass. Lovely.

Deleted, sorry about that but I will have to put word verification back.

Hopefully the bus stops will be removed on that section of road but where are the coaches going to drop off for the theatre? And other questions I'm too tired to ask.
The rock may be old but will it have a photocard?

If I remember correctly there's a section of drop kerb outside the theatre on the central reservation. No doubt that there will be a contraflow if it's far enough away from the clifface. Or they could just go to the coach station and catch the 12.
