Talking bus stops in Chichester are a fail'
Talking bus stops are one of those things you never know about unless someone with a small key fob sets them off.
Much like the bolts under a crossing control box, they can be useful to many, but the chichester ones are a joke. They sound like Max Headroom, where they work.
Bus stops so far found
Westgate, Cathedral Old Post Office , Cathedral 700, Hornet, Market Avenue 51/56.
Here are some of the clips from these stops.
Pizza Rebellion rebels against users
There is a pizza machine in various locations across sussex where you can tap into a screen your order and a few minutes later its delivered, a fast food vending machine.
These are obviously popular with the numerous cheese loving junkies but as they are built inside a shipping container cause some issues with the less mobile snackers around. eg wheelchair users
When we raised concerns with the owner on twitter, they responded with the following polite <?>
Couldnt Care less?
Network Rail is undergoing major refreshing of track and signals in the Barnham to Havant area https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-routes/sussex/upgrading-the-brighton-main-line/barnham-to-havant-improvement-works/ . Part of this work involves the closure of 2 major level crossins (Stockbridge Road and Basin Road) at the same time to both traffic and pedestrians. The only way to cross the line is to use the footbridge.
So therefore I realised that any motobility scootter, wheelchair or any other person unable to cross the footbridge would need an alternative route.
So i asked Network Rail
"
@networkrailwith the closure of both level crossings at #chichesterthis and next weekends to both vehicles and pedestrians, and with only the footbridge open, how are you maintaining #accessforall#,#Disability #wheelchairs"
