What we really want is longer single-deckers with (like bendy-buses) two doors. Which means all those artists impressions might as well be binned. I wonder if they've told the bus manufacturers..... there'll be some worried workers in Ballymena tonight.
What's
more, the BRT2 route will, at last, be diverted to serve Temple
Meads! Just what I've been saying for years......
It
didn't need a meeting to decide it, it didn't need a consultants
report, it didn't need the Cabinet Member with responsibility
for Transport. It didn't even need the input of the council's own press officers.
Instead, it
came as a press release (*)
from the LibDem group. And instead of quoting the councillor
responsible, the credit for this welcome proposal goes to none other
than the deputy leader, one Jon Rogers, who also just happens to be
running for mayor.
Which
makes it even less credible than all the other unexpected announcements
that emerge from the LibDems' transport spokesmen. Like Gary's transport hub
and Tim's unmanned pods.
* later discreetly removed - I wonder why

Have you seen that the latest plans published for the Enterpise Zone have Plot 6 filled with office blocks and no room for an transport interchange.
It is a little difficult to understand wher the BRT bus stop might even be placed.

Given the way it's been announced, I would be very surprised if it's been thought through.
As you say, the drawings for the Enterprise Zone show no space for an interchange, and there was nothing in the supporting text either.
Perhaps Jon's thinking (if at all!) of the BRT spur into the Friary, though it was never clear how that might work.
