Amadeus Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Wuhu - the new part of the Marina is currently taking shape: The speed with which things are taking shape down here is breathtaking - I'm telling you: The whole of North Quay will soon be the hippest part of town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 last week saw someone nearly getting wiped out as they came across the stone bridge and turned right into North Quay by going over the 'yellow stuff' Suppose thay can't put barriers on there as it would stop wagons getting round the corner both ways I suppose it's the fault of putting writing on the road 20 yards before the corner, some people don't think that far ahead !!!!!

Grumble Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 And numerous signs and a big brick divider to stop the idiots doing exactly that! Some people should hand their licences back to Kelloggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 My only complaint is that it's very difficult to pick people up from places such as Coasters or the Bridge. If the customer isn't ready when the taxi arrives, it's almost impossible to wait for them without blocking the whole thoroughfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 isn't the lay-by outside the bridge for pick-up set-down purposes??? It is... but a number of inconsiderate a***holes park their vehicles there in the evening and cause problems for everyone else!

Amadeus Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 A small historical moment - the last bits of the the new marina are lowered into the harbour and slotted into place by what looks like a small steamer: North_Quay_Marina.3gp Soon, the likes of Mr Abramovich will be able to tie up their little boats there and go for a coffee on the Quay...

Cake Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Cowley groves have the Railway on their books to go for a tenancy? and heard a whisper that Dan and Dara had bought the Traf? I was told that the Railway was going to be turned into a Chinese Resturant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digga Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have never worked out why they (DOT) did not just turn Railway hill and Atholl street to run the other way so traffic comes in via leigh terrace throw a left over EB's bridge straight up railway hill and along Atholl street towards prospect hill, then all trafic leaving douglas can make its way down past the Cop shop ,over the New Bridge and along south quay, traffic problem Sorted me thinks Oh hang on but that would be using common sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
