Do any of you chaps have any new photos of the Owen Building/Hallam Building in the city centre? I'm a student from there - on placement in Hamburg, Germany for a year & i'm very curious to see what they have done to it! Also do any of you chaps have any access to the new plans for what should replace the NMB?
Or indeed, if anyone has any photos of the railway station works?

Cheers

The chaos changes daily! At least it looks as though they're planning to get it finished quickly.

what's the status on the one way system around there (Leadmill Street etc...)? is it a permanent thing? it was implemented just before i left for Germany...

It's permanent, and it seems to work a lot better than the traffic light arrangement at the leadmill. I'll get a lot of replies for saying that! Maybe the new arrangement just suits my usual route better.

Gosh the road layout is a piece of shhhhh, and the missing Sheaf roundabout is really a pain...

It will work well when all the works are finished and they can synchonise the lights from Park Square to Granville Square properly, but at the minute its complete gash!

seems to work ok now you can tiurn through the bus station, although traffic is still directed towards the same place. We will have to see!

you do have to be alert when driving it because it changes from one week to another...

Has the roundabout gone now? What is the status on blowing up the NMB now? I think they should do a raffle at the uni for who should push the plunger!!

Cheers for the offer on the photos, I look forward to seeing them :)

i'm loving it but there seems to be less and less roads and more diversions
