Hope my warning helped people - saw the chaos at about 8.15 this morning, including people who obviously didn't know the bus stop was going to be closed (luckily as the bus was stuck in traffic, the bus driver let them on even though the stop was closed). Thought my phone was going to die before I finished posting!

> 30" gas mains leaking gas - emergency repairs.

When I passed - excruciatingly slowly - on a bus last night, there were four guys in yellow jackets just standing around staring at the repair site ... with traffic jammed in both directions apparently due (in the direction heading up to the library) to a police car parked outside The Bishop at a crucial point .....

SGN have worked through the night - sorry to those living close by but better that than a gas explosion!

They pin-pointed the leak and are repaired the joint this morning. Reinstatement is underway with quick drying concrete (its not as long lasting but should last a number of years) and should be completed by lunch time Friday.

So circa 20 hours left before its fully reopened.

    • They are. We are back to the same construction racket 8am-8pm every day for the whole of this week. The wall is one of the last things to come down, probably on Saturday. Then we can see how much of a mess they've made, especially the quantity of non-biodegradeable litter trampled into the earth. GALA 2025 - Production Schedule.pdf

    • @Rockets be a sweety and stop using the large font, it's annoying and I expect most can comprehend. Still not sure how this festival affects you.  Or is it a case that you just like taking on causes 
    • It is intimidating looking through the book sections now.  I sometimes wonder if they're stocking bookshops' remainders. OTOH, when I put  some books out in a cardboard box for taking, it was  encouraging to see that a fair proportion of those taken were aged hardbacks.
