Lovely to see the bridge lit up tonight

A positive sign regarding the electrical problems and what a great addition to the Barnsley skyline

 

No news from anyone in regards it’s opening.

Just hope they can fix the large clock and floodlights under the canopy entrance to the train station. Looks proper run down - been stuck for years.

 

I haven't been in the train station for years. I hope it's a nice easy fix for them

 

It’s the main entrance on Schwabisch Gmund way - we walk past every home game and comment on it looks dark and run down at the front with the 2 floodlights not lighting up the underneath of the canopy and the clock not working. Not exactly a great advert for folk coming to town.

 

Agreed. I always say it's the little things that make a difference (such as when the club painted the bollards red making it look much better) so something as simple as getting a light working should be a priority

 

Used that train station for years and never noticed that clock - proper bug me now! Lol There's a clock across from NUM buildings that hasn't worked for years as well ...

 

It’s still on strike, lol

 

Yeah, I looked up a few years ago, and noticed the clock wasn’t working (think it may have lit up as well). Then noticed the 2 floodlights that light up the canopy and make it a feature are also not working. Bugs me when I walk past after a game - just makes the area dark but uncared for and that’s the Main entrance to our station.

Been meaning to report it to Northern Rail for years - might email them tomorrow now

 

Even worse - just checked Google Street view, and gone back to June 2012 - the clock hasn’t moved since then, if not before. Well over 12 years now it’s not worked Stuck at 12:30…..

 

Maybe the Google Street view car only passes at 12:30...

Ok maybe not.

That really is pretty poor that they've left it knackered for that long. Probably had funds for new batteries reallocated to fix a pothole in London or something

 

More than likely, it’ll need a service and repair, but just been neglected. I’m going to report tomorrow - my good dead for Xmas.

The clock on Hudds Rd across from the NUM building - what’s that in place for? As above post, that’s not worked for years either.

 

Just had to get on Google Street view for that one. I had no idea there was a clock there and I must have walked past it hundreds of times when I was at college.

 

Both out in sympathy with The Civic clock.

 

Is there still a clock above the old Benji Harrals shop? If so, has that one stopped too?

 

Since when did Barnsley station look like that?
I thought it was a brick/stone building.

 

Still no sign of the grant funded art works that led to the demolition of the Dev ! All that’s been done is part rendered a gable end and now the bed has been planted suggests nothing will happen? Think we’ve been sold a lie on that one, I think it was part of the grant for Eldon street but when publicised they were talking specifically about that and talking as a gateway to Town from the interchange.

 

That clock’s been stuck like that since it was struck by lightning when that kid tried to do 88mph in his Delorean…

 

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 mph, you're gonna see some serious sh*t

 

Marty Mcfly will use it over Xmas

 

Shouldn't have stopped there, the whole row should have been flattened and done like the square.
