Spot on. I'm guessing if you have valid tickets there will be people allowing access to the bridge. (If common sense prevails). However, what if you don't have a ticket? Lots of people catching buses just buy one way tickets as and when rather than the more expensive day tickets. I live in Rotherham and catch the 22x. So I'm not chancing it. I might just go under the railway bridge near the Mount and catch it near the Dove.
I am sure you'll be fine using the Alhambra but if not It's straight forward but a bit of a long way around. As others have said, follow the crowds, but basically down Eldon Street North (toward Athersley, Royston, Monk Bretton), under railway bridge, turn right past rail station car park and at side of railway, and then you're back where you would have been if you'd crossed the level crossing. However, with train tickets, you'll be reight
No its the councils responsibility. Its their bridge and theyre funding it with our money, less a substantial contribution from Network Rail. A contribution which would have paid for a serviceable bridge which should be up and running by now. The Council has CHOSEN to spend additional public money to build a 'statement' bridge (Sir Houghtons word). Its an ego project and the disruption its causing is a disgrace.
The council wants something decent though rather than slapping up a crappy bridge. We can't really blame them for that.
Would you not rather have a "statement" bridge? It looks fantastic on the drawings and will really stand out. The towns finally being dragged into 21st century. Like others have said we could have built a ***** one in no time, a bit like all the ***** they built in the 60s.
Access to me means you're using the interchange. If you're not, like me, you walk round. Or go a different route, up Oakwell lane for instance. I don't see it as a problem. A couple of minutes extra walking. Will do us all good.
I can cope with that so you would have to have a ticket perhaps? Time will tell and I'll avoid the area when we play Leeds. Probably best it is a sunday now.
Plans announced for Premier League Promotion Bus Tour in May 2020. The players will set out from Oakwell, turn up to Monk Bretton, follow the road out to Shafton and Hemsworth, do a detour around Castleford and Pontefract, head back towards Wakefield, stop off at Newmillerdam for refreshments, then make their way back via Wakefield Road, arriving at the Town Hall approximately two and a half days after the parade started!
The statement is all over the shop. On the one hand it says "Access to the Interchange from Schwäbisch Gmünd Way will be for access to the railway station only" and yet the previous item says "Access to and from the bus station will be via Eldon Street and Schwäbisch Gmünd Way" and just to confuse matters further "There will be no access through the Interchange, where the bridge will be closed except for those with access needs" which suggests that for the vast majority there'll be no access to the Bus Station from Schwäbisch Gmünd Way.
Probably worried some will cut through, take the road down past the car park entrance and onto Ponty road that way.
This is the thing for me, I'll try my best to adapt to whatever the situation is but I don't know what the situation is at this point.
I would assume not wanting large numbers of football fans walking through the Alhambra. Don't see the problem myself either
