The big difference is that on an average Monday morning it's far, far busier than Accy is on a Saturday afternoon. In fact, every town I go to, large or small, is busier than Accy now. I wonder why? :confused:

The other half shops in Leigh on a regular basis Wyn in fact I used to go with her at one time, nout special as you say but very very busy

Well, the signs are now up on some of the lamp posts in Union Street. Hope you can read what it says.

Do these people even live on the same place we do?
I went to town today, with Mrs BG parked in the Arndale, walked past the Mobile Phone, cheap cards, cheap mobile accessories, eon trying very hard to sell me gas and electric(no thanks were coop). The Arndale is getting emptier every day, I saw H Samuals has now gone!! Went past the bus station..... Up Blackburn rd to Argos, yet more empty shops.

And they think we need a new bus station!

I actually think the question to ask accywebbers is how often do you use buses, I haven't time to night but I might just do a thread tomoz asking just that question or a more drawn out one, cover regularly to never

Most of those making the decisions probably don't even know where Accrington is. In fact now you mention it, maybe it's all planned to take people out of Accrington and in to other towns. Whats the betting there is a regular service to Preston when it's finished :rolleyes:

I really can't see anyone want ing to come to Accrington for anything, other than perhaps to visit relatives...the Market is abysmal, likewise the Market Hall.

i am assuming this new station came to be under the last administration ?
