    When it was originally redone and turned into teletubby land was the bridge over the bus station too low for buses and had to be redone? Or have I made that up?

    I don't believe so but could be wrong.
    They hit problems when building it though because they hit coal (which apparently wasn't expected).

    It could have been that then. I seem to remember a story going round that the pedestrian bridge was too low for double deckers so they had to lower the road surface below it. Can't even remember where I heard that or how long ago it was built

    I think it opened in 2007. I've been trying to find out a news article to prove I'm not talking ******** but can't so I've given up. It's possible it was an April Fool, but I seem to remember it being true.

    Take a look at https://issuu.com/cronweb/docs/wk16-indy-2008-04-16 and https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ if you want a play.

    Whenever I read a post like this I'm forced to ask "Why?". What's the point in being so unpleasant? How does it help?

    It helps some of us to sort the wheat from the chaff, by way of the ignore button.
