    Hi Pacer. Weren't the buildings to be demolished for the proposed bus station an old Iceland supermarket? I can't believe how many closed/boarded up shops there are now in the town centre. Not sure the new site is very well placed for bus users: they should have revamped the Riverhead bus station which was, as you say, very handy when you'd finished your shopping in Freshney Place.

    Hi, the Iceland supermarket is further along the street and is still open, it wasn't included in the council's purchases as far as I know. I agree with you that the Riverhead would be a better place for the bus station, but the council have flatly refused to build one there. Hopefully the new location will bring footfall and trade to the area around Osborne Street.

    The section about East Midland is interesting, since it was our local bus company. I'd always assumed that Mr Underwood was just 'some bloke' who started up a bus service or two.
