Numbnuts Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Isn't that one of the pods used for the quarantine/checking at the boat just been aquired by DOI ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the FoI: [Two] Weatherproof shelters at Parade Street Car Park. These are being repurposed by the Department of Infrastructure as they match the shelters being used for primary school student cycle parking as part of the active travel initiative Though maybe Longworth has nicked them off the schools, like he did with the minibuses. (£8036 the pair btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxchester Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Apologies for the random question but does anybody know why that random cycle lane appeared on Lezayre Road a couple of years ago (from milntown to the DoI depot near Cafe Rosa). Was it someone just messing about? You can still see the really poor markings and then it just veers across the road into the depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver2020 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Heard it was a line painting machine returning to its trailer and the tap was not turned of properly the driver certainly was not checking his mirrors or looking behind. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly, It was a vehicle leaving the Glen Duff Depot that was not turned off. It was supposed to be removed before TT but it looks like it is now here to stay until the next loose chippings overcoat............... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Anyway, should Bus Vannin be using all their available staff to drive buses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Loads more potential cancellations tomorrow ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Ten Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 So in all this crisis with Bus Vannin where is the highly paid Director of Transport Mr L???? What is his public take on this absolute shambles? I think the bus drivers are very clever employees and probably amongst all this there is a "statement". If the Bus drivers are taking the piss then the public will see through them and give them absolutely no support. If the Director is inflaming this national issue, well it's over to Mr Tim Crookall MHK the DOI Minister to sort it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
