Agreed. I know someone who got pregnant in there.

Tom Hark said:Has to be the stop at the top of Beaconsfield Road where the routes of the 5 & 5A & 5B merge into one. It's got the satellite-control thang, and even if the 5B's are doing their really annoying thing of coming along two at a time with a twenty minute wait til the next one, then the laws of averages sez there will be a 5 or 5A along in a couple of minutes. Hoorah!

London Irish said:To continue the 5/5A theme, it has to be the bus stop outside the Preston Park Hotel for buses into town.
Now that it has that timer thingy that tells you how long the bus is going to be, say 15 or 20 mins, you can stroll into the hotel and order a pint of Guinness. Down it, stroll back the few yards to the bus.
It's like having a bus stop with an attached bar. Can that really be beaten? I don't think so.
There must be more of them in town surely? Might be one or two in Lewes Road. Or one or two in Western Road. Dammit, you're right - not enough bus stops next to pubs and bars.London Irish said:It's like having a bus stop with an attached bar. Can that really be beaten? I don't think so.
The only flaw is I'm always late going into town watching all the 5s go past as I'm sinking my second and third pint...............

Oi! That's my local bus stop you're dissing there! 'Oo you lookin' at? Young master Brovian one got his fingers wedged in the gap between the glass panels and we had to pour suncream on them to loosen them.The Large One said:'Top of' Beaconsfield Road? It's a flat road, old boy.
I use that bus stop every morning. Very nice. The bus stops at Fiveways for the 26 and 46 are closer - but they've got no soul. And they're noisy, and full of people from Holllingbury. Ugh!
Brovian said:Actually the wierdest bus stop in Brighton and perhaps Britain is in that area outside the Stanmer in Hollingbury Road. There's a post, a shelter and a timetable but, er, no buses.
I think you people are getting your Beaconsfield roads and Villas mixed upBrovian said:Oi! That's my local bus stop you're dissing there! 'Oo you lookin' at? Young master Brovian one got his fingers wedged in the gap between the glass panels and we had to pour suncream on them to loosen them.

Eh? The Large One and myself were talking about the one in Ditchling Road by Fiveways. Mind you I'm BN1 so I expect I know the area a lot better than someone from Hove. *thumbs nose*hove born&bred said:I think you people are getting your Beaconsfield roads and Villas mixed up

Every local government officer wants to have a permanent monument to their work. I have my bus stops. I am very proud of them.
If you read carefully you will see that I have long resided in Preston Circus ............please enlighten me how Beaconsfield road stretches any where near the fiveways.Brovian said:Eh?

I know, I know! I was just rattling your cage. However my original post referred to the bus stops in FIVEWAYS which TLO said he didn't like to use because of the other clientel. I never mentoned Beaconsfield Road, Villas, Avenue, Street, Gardens, etc etc etc etc. You quoted the wrong post.hove born&bred said:If you read carefully you will see that I have long resided in Preston Circus .............
I realise that now I bet it was shitty at that bus stop this morning Mrs HB&B said she got drenched on her way to L&GBrovian said:I know, I know! I was just rattling your cage.
