New Bus Station for Brecon, and a bus ride to Hereford

From the pages of the B&R this week - work has started on building a new bus station near Morrisons. This means that the buses will no longer have to pass through the Bulwark, which is often a nightmare of parked cars, lorries delivering to shops, and general congestion. The bus stops won't have to be moved during Brecon Jazz or the Fair that takes place on the streets of Brecon twice a year. It also means that bus transport is being taken seriously in the area, which can only be a good thing.

Meanwhile, I was going in the other direction today, to meet someone at Hereford Bus Station. Roadworks at Belmont meant that the bus was half an hour late getting in, but fortunately my friends had waited for me.
Mr Lawrence got on the bus with me, and he was there for the next bus back with me as well. He and his wife went on a coach trip to Aberystwyth yesterday, and he left his coat on the coach, with all his keys and things in the pockets. When he phoned up to tell them, the coach driver said he'd leave the coat in the cafe by the bus station for him to pick up, and he'd just been in and found everything safe and sound.
Also on the bus going home was the Dutch lad who used to come to Stitch and Bitch. He was working at Primrose Organic Farm, and he left there to go to Manchester. Since then he's been travelling around, and he just came back from Ireland by ferry and train last night - sitting up all night with a group of German girls who were travelling round Europe on Railcards, so he didn't get much sleep! He's going to go back to Primrose Farm for a while to work there again.
