Car Craft have now gone into administration and the site has been cleared off all cars and office equipment. This once again opens up the opportunity for GNE to consider the use of the site for a new depot.
I still don't think it would be suitable, if only because of the current road infrastructure.
Unless something was changed and some sort of traffic junction introduced (along with moving the bus stop), then the buses could be queuing to get in and out.
Picktree Lane can be bad, but at least the traffic is usually at a crawl or standstill come rush hour.
That stretch of Durham Road, can be constantly flowing with traffic.
It is bad enough getting out of Dorset Avenue, Barley Mow shops or Chip Shop car park in a car, never mind getting out of Carcraft in a bus.
