Did you say jane norman was closing doon? 'cause they're hiring folk...

The place is for sale so those jobs must be temp. Curry's Digital took years to sell so I wonder how long this one will take. Summery - once someone buys them they are out of there leaving everyone who was hired buy them out of a job. Could be tommorow, next week, next year but eventually it will happen.

Does it go via hazlehead?!

The 11 goes to the hazlehead area now, If you mean actually inside the park then no buses serve that and no buses have served there since 2007.

I need a bus fae beach to hazlehead. Make it happen. x

To get from the beach to hazlehead you would need to catch the 15 to Union Street and then either catch the 11 (Every 15 Minutes) or the X17 (Every 12 Minutes).

Please note that if you choose the X17 it will be a Stagecoach bus also the X17 will be getting its fleet upgraded from 29th October 2012 and will also be every 10 minutes again from 29th October 2012.

The Clinton Cards upstairs in was closed today with people with sledgehammers smashing the place up not sure if it has closed down or it is getting revamped as it was the downstairs one that was for sale.

Card Factory in St Nicholas Centre has now opened selling cards for 29p.

Just because the building is being sold doesn't mean the tenant is moving on. It could be sold as an investment which is more likely.

They are in the St Nicholas Centre and the unit is up for let.

Where would I be without you, Cool Thinker.

Also, none of the bus stops have the new numbers on them yet. That kind of blows. But at the same time I'm pissed off the 15 is Salmon and not pale blue as it was on the new route map. Grr.

Some of the ones in city centre have been changed but the ones out of city centre will take 10 years. Also just wait until you see the new branding on the buses I don't like the my local colour "pink" it was good to get rid of "salmon" though.
