My bins have been emptied once in 10 weeks, I have no use of a car during the week and have still managed quite nicely without them.
Its a dirty horrible job and the workers have been treated shoddily by management, but it has proved to me i pay too much Council Tax for very poor services generally.

I thought that! Think the last conductor I saw on buses was the one who checked my saverstrip!

Do you mean 'conductor' or 'inspector'?

A ticket inspector was on my bus a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, the taxis are now ranking up there again because there wasn't the room down at the bottom end of town near Asda House where they've been operating from for the last few weeks. They are now sending three cars around onto the station from the Headrow and three from the Asda House rank. Like I said, one of the issues was the fact there wasn't enough room down the bottom end of town, but pedestrians were also starting to use the Headrow as a proper rank instead of just as a queue. This meant drivers were getting walk on fares and not having to wait to get onto the station.

Did Daddy tell you to write that

we get the dustbin and garden refuse one week and the recycling boxes(glass,paper,and plastic bottles) the next.
works pretty well

Cheers. Does this mean that we are stuck with this nonsense forever?

For the immeadiate future I would imagine so yes. However, in the last couple of months there has been about 4 different methods of getting onto the station. None of which have proved all that effective. It won't be sorted until one of a couple of things happen.

1. The council manage to find some land in the city centre which can be used as a feeder rank. Obviously that one is unlikely.
2. The Hackney Carriage manage to get the airport rank back. Which again is unlikely.

So,after the most miserable bunch of men in Leeds finish their strike the second group of most miserable men ( bus drivers,First Leeds ) are about to start theirs.

The idea of having them queue on Boar Lane, blocking off the right turn to go down under the Dark Arches for buses that use it, must have come from one of those infinite number of monkeys inbetween replicating works of Shakespeare.

The simple solution to hackney carraige overcrowding in Leeds is to reduce the number of licences available.

The only route I can think of that still has conductors is the number 4 bendy buses between Whinmoor and Pudsey.
