So easy to walk straight across to the Arndale from the bus.

The big blue bus was clean and smooth. An electronic sign told us which was the next stop and a pre recorded voice announced when we arrived at the bus station and thanked us for using the bus. I even liked the layout of the bus station.
I was pleasantly surprised and now I've finally got a bus pass, 17 years after I could have, I shall use the bus whenever I have a Saturday four hour shift in the Arndale.
But I remembered previous comments on this thread when I looked around and saw five passengers prodding iPhones.
I was told by a customer that the old bus station was now a car park and was very busy so hopefully business's on that side of town won't suffer too much since the bus station closed.

That car park i have been informed is for Blue Badge Holders only, also 1 hr is the allowed time? thing is i was not aware and have parked twice and luckily got away with it.
