Re: Invisible Bus
That junction where the bollard is isn't exactly a junction. It is more of an opening to a gate to the back of Wilkinsons etc. It used to be open access down there and was one of the oldest road in the town before HBC messed about with it. Was it called something like Pleck Road? The photos don't really show it very well.
If you think that bollard is badly placed you should see the one on the traffic island/peninsula thing at the top of Ormerod Street which causes traffic going down the road to be forced across to the opposite side. All in the name of road safety.
It doesn't alter the fact that the signs at the end of Peel St say buses only, but if you want a bit of typical HBC irony - just past where it says buses only, on the opposite side to the bollard there is this area.
