Craig of Campbeltown ((T/A Glasgow Citybus) Alexander Dennis Enviro 200MMC
As pointless as a broken pencil - part two
As part of Glasgow City Council’s relentless policy of making getting about Glasgow as difficult as possible unless you’re a cyclist - who tend to cycle on the pavements anyway in my experience - the Council in their infinite stupidity...I mean wisdom....have turned Gordon Street outside Central Station to one way traffic heading eastbound.
This has meant as a result the Glasgow Stationlink bus can no longer stop underneath the Central Station canopy for the first time since the service begun back in the 1980s. So it’s been moved from its convenient location under the canopy, protecting passengers from the elements, to a hastily erected bus stop outside a nearby Co-op supermarket in Union Street. This means potential passengers have to head out a side entrance, down some stairs, cross a busy road and then get on the bus, a far more inconvenient location. If you’ve got mobility issues you’ve got an even longer walk to it. Then, the Council in their infinite stupidity they’ve also blocked the bus lane in North Hanover street and closed of parts of George Square for the same daft reasons leaving this bus with a more convoluted route now. How is this supposed to improve public transport and encourage people back on to it is best left to these so called traffic planning experts.
Here is 41602 (SN65ZHA) pausing for a breather at its new terminus.
