It's all very strange but every time there is a bank holiday weekend all the lifts to the short term car park breakdown. There are no signs until passengers have crossed both bridges and reached the lifts. This photo shows a frail old lady using a walking stick trying to climb down 4 flights of stairs.
The last piece of the drop off zone didn't get finished today not that it will make any difference to the central area. I took these photos this evening before starting my shift. Not only does traffic still queue to enter the central area it now has to queue to leave after the staff were removed from the exit barriers this week.
Traffic in both lanes is stationary as cars try to enter the drop off zone while a coach heads from the exit
With all coaches and the shuttle bus having to queue to get past the drop off zone when leaving the bus station they now have to also queue to get past the exit barrier. This photo actually shows 10 coach and buses in the queue including the shuttle bus. What was a 7 minute drive to the station can now turn into a 20 minute journey.
It is hard to believe that so much effort and money has been completely wasted and has achieved nothing with no improvement to the traffic conditions. Remember this is the road that was built to handle 18 million passengers. The word shambles would be a good word to describe what is going on at Luton.
