Making just one extra bus stop in front of Lidl and removing the stops outside of the station and paving over. Putting in an extra diagonal crossing in front of the station.<br /><br />Just wait for the snarl ups at the Quarry hill roundabout when there are a bus or two waiting between journeys as wells as cars and delivery vans parking there. <br />Around 4pm for a 25 min period 20 buses try to stop at the station.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-42912748993499658232016-11-21T06:31:13.841+00:002016-11-21T06:31:13.841+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-24590414630597709432016-11-21T06:30:48.133+00:002016-11-21T06:30:48.133+00:00I get the impression our erstwhile blogger, TB has...I get the impression our erstwhile blogger, TB has lost interest in his own creation. <br /><br />Meanwhile our local MP has taken on the Post Office with a petition against the proposed move, and a TV appearance yesterday. <br /><br />Definitely missing a trick there, TB.

I have heard that its going to be a rent free arrangement with the book shop benefiting from the increase footfall. Could be bad for your sales. I just hope they find room for all those seats in the new premises, well used when the queues build up. Not great move either for Blue badge holders who cant just stop in the High Street any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-88838827996446193402016-10-17T23:10:17.022+01:002016-10-17T23:10:17.022+01:00no real details on there - boats looks good but wh...no real details on there - boats looks good but what are their costs at present compare to what is proposed?

Seem very bitter towards those that like a nice pint of been in good company for some reason... <br /><br />Just as you would pay extra for a meal from the Ivy House/Havet/etc than you would from Maccy D's/Jen's Cafe... you would pay a little more from a place that serves good, rare beer than one that does not.. Looking at the latest fuggles beer board they have Tonbridge Coppernob at £3.40 a pint rising up to around a fiver for some of the other, stronger beers - this seems pretty reasonable? Some, of course are even more but, as with wine, people like to treat themselves to something a little more special every now and again. I would imagine the 'new' slug would be comparable to these prices and, having seen TOFS make a success of things and fuggles coming to town, they have seen there is the demand and market for it to, hopefully, prosper.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408163901285928844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-69354934391591886582016-10-11T18:49:54.096+01:002016-10-11T18:49:54.096+01:00So the Slug is closing at the end of the month.
