The mystery of the disappearing Plymouth bus stop

“@charliedodd ... you are one hell of a sad "fu.c.ker ".”

“Our boys still dying and getting maimed in afghanistan and fuel and heating bills and rates rocketing up,old folks on the newly named "liverpool gateway (pathway) to heaven" and grannies getting evicted in the name of a bedroom tax to make way for unmarried mothers who decide to have more kids with a local chav on the social "because they deserve it ".... but lets look on the funny side .
And I forgot .. the rise in crime has nothing to do with drugs . You are struggling to pay your rent to keep an efing roof over your head ..... but lets all talk about a mistake in a bus lane !!!!!!”

“Big deal. Keeps you morons happy having something to write about though . Bit like having a show on the tv about selling antique stuff to keep the old folks sedated in their chairs in an old folks home for the afternoon.”

“Seven months ago I notified the council that a "Pedestrian Zone: No vehicles Allowed" sign had gone missing on the Barbican and that as a result motorists and taxi drivers are using the narrow cobbled streets as a rat run, nearly bowling over pedestrians, tourists and groups of schoolkids.
But despite several follow-up emails, the sign still hasn't been replaced..”

“Well yet another error, what is PCC going to waste money on next. They could do with getting thier act together, all this money being made from us the motorists from the camera car and now bus lane camera's. Where is the money going, I Iive in a residents permit scheme area, I pay for a yearly permit, yet the white bay markings have all but dissapeared, the double yellow lines have also faded away. Quite frequently cars are parked in the permit bay without a permit
or parked on the faded double yellow lines, I often see the traffic wardens walking past these vehicles and not issuing a fine. I think most of Plymouth is suffering the same neglect from the highways and parking dept. About time the money was re-invested and getting our street lines back in order. I would be interested to read of other area's in Plymouth suffering similar problems.”

“well it has to be better than tom daley i guess”

“Rather than removing the markings they should have painted an additional "NO" at the top then finished off with "S HERE CURRENTLY" at the end. That would not only have been cheaper but also would have clarified the situation for any locals who got confused.”

“The council removed the bus sign because the roads are so bad the buses cant drive over them.”

“There's a Twilight zone episode on youtube about a phantom bus full of dead people..”

“There is yet anther example on Mutley Plain, opposite the Strathmore Centre. Buses have not stopped there for years yet it is STILL marked on the road as a bus stop; it is regularly re-painted and even has a shelter ?? (No timetables though - so someone knows what they are doing).”
