THE latest move to keep commuters on the go during the summer disruption at Nottingham Station has been completed – and all it took was a tin of paint.
A new bus lane has been put in place in Sheriffs Way, near the railway station, with the aim of clearing the way for rail replacement buses. (Friday, June 14)
"Bus lane hope to avoid traffic chaos ? Don't make me laugh, the new lanes on Sherrifs way/Queen Street were causing plenty of chaos when I drove past in last nights rush hour.
Fair enough if its a temporary measure for rail replacement buses during the station enhancements – but we all know what will happen after the works are completed – they'll stay put."

"Avoid chaos? its causing it, rush hour has become worse that it already was for those people for whom public transport isn't an option. And who's idea what is to do the tramworks, widen the A453 and do major railway works all at same time, all in the same region of the county, it can only get worse!"

"As others have said... this bus lane has almost appeared out of nowhere. Last night it was utter chaos for people trying to get home from Queens Drive. It was effectively a single lane of traffic, backed up from the Station to Queens Drive.

"When they talk about 'minimising the disruption to the travelling public' does it ever register with these inept clowns that a large proportion of the 'travelling public' are motorists?"

"It's obvious, the more Traffic chaos the Council can cause, the more they can justify their Tram!"

NOTTINGHAM Forest have not yet made any approach to bring Billy Sharp back to the City Ground.
The striker made himself a popular figure with Reds fans as he fired 11 goals for the club last season. (Friday, June 14)
"Now Billy is back maybe he can kick start the transfer market and we can lay in the sun thinking of our new signings playing in a winning team. I can never understand why we are so slow getting new players in."
