Anyone know whats goin off at Fiztalan Square.

Shed loads of coppers and the tram crossing the road outside the KFC is taped off.

Also further down towards the markets has some tape all over, but not closed off, only to viehcles.

Saw a Taxi cab parked outside the KFC and it looked like the driver was in the back of a squad car. .

Anyone know owt. . .

probably a one under, some p*** artist did't look, can't see it being a womble at this time of night.
Or maybe the taxi driver is one of bin laden's crew.

Sound feasable, as there was a parked taxi and a push bike proped up on a lamp post. .

Hope the guy/gal is ok. .

gotta say its a shed load more coppers than I'd have expected for an R.T.A. . .

I had to get off the tram at Cathedral stop at 23.00hrs. The driver said that the police were stopping all through trams at that point, as the route ahead was now closed to all traffic. The driver had no idea when the police would allow the trams in eiher direction to proceed - so I opted to catch a bus instead.

Unfortunately, due to the rather obscure layout at the end of Haymarket/Fitzallen Square, any RTA will result in about half the SY police force cordoning of the area. I've been down there a couple of times when people have been hit by taxis or buses and it soon descends to chaos around Arundel Gate/Park Square/Hay Market because the buses are blocked.

It is no longer called a RTA

They are now called RTC's - Road Traffic Collisions, as there is always someone to blame.
