Darbees Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Are the contractors trying to break the record for the slowest ever building job on the park and ride car park at Malin Bridge? Does anyone know anything about it, the sign says it is opening summer 2006 but it's now autumn. Why on earth it is full of signs and elaborate block paving is a mystery to me. I may count the spaces when I pass later but it doesn't look like it will accomodate many tram loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Well there has never been much of a need for one in the past so I doubt it will need to be very big. They have only started working on it relatively recently (AFAIK) so Summer 2006 is a bit of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1984 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I was thinking that myself. They seem to have abandoned working on it alltogether! I can remember being stood at the tramstop and being asked if I thought Malin Bridge would benefit from a park and ride by some clipboard weilding bloke and I said no! I think just about every other person he asked when I was stood there also said no as we could walk to the tramstop from where we lived. That was 3 years ago though so they took their time organising it aswell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magneteer Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Nay Nay, Meaks, work started on that project in March. They're probably trying to outdo the Wembly Stadium contractors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionaly I see a couple of blokes pottering about there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Well they obvously haven't been very intensive works then! Occasionaly I see a couple of blokes pottering about there. Sounds about right for Sheffield City Council contracters. One of them sweeping up, the other one watching. Next thing they'll burst a water main.

Darbees Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 I saw a couple of blokes from council. one was digging holes and the other was filling them in. I asked what they were doing and they said they were planting trees. I asked where the trees were and they said "Oh the bloke who plants them is off sick" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
