Getting a bus stop moved

spiro

Living by a traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing would give the same issues if not worse.

As has been suggest buy yourself some net curtains and get on with your life. If your that worried about privacy find a house built in a field with nothing within 1/2 mile of it.

Imagine the benefit if you have car problems and there is a bus stop right outside your house.

One or two posters keep blathering on about the OP knowing the bus stop was there when he bought the house - which wasn't yet built, but that's another story.

So what if he did?

He now has a problem.

The solution is not: 'You should have thought about that before buying the house.'

I have visions of some of you going to the garage to have an electric window fixed.

'Well, you knew it had electric windows before you bought the car, didn't you?'

Any service manager who said that would be labelled a patronising jerk.

So you buy a house next door to a school, decide that you don't like the noise and traffic, then try to get the school closed?

Our local school has just had a noise order served on it by the people that built a brand new house directly behind the playground..... School has been there for 40 years....

Because it's true, when you buy a house, you take these things into consideration. Would you buy a house next to say a chip shop then after moving you don't like the smell, and try to get the closed?

As for patronizing, I do this in work to customers when on the phone as they can't read forms properly when it clearly states what to do etc (only when they start having a go at me mind).

I used to live on the top floor of a flat next to a bus stop and my living room was at the height of the top deck.
I knew this was the case when I rented, so I got net curtains, job done.

• Also to have fun, I used to wave at people in the top deck.

• Sit on a chair and hold a dinner plate facing the same way as they did and pretend I was driving.
• Had an advantage in the morning, used to sit inside waiting for the bus then run downstairs leaping over my fence and into the bus surprising the driver, rather than waiting in the cold.
• Never mooned people but it was suggested I should try that:eek:

Not the best analogy I have heard. Someone buys a car with electric windows that work and would expect them to continue working. If the failed, they get them fixed and still have electric widows.

The bus stop, on the other hand, has an inherent characteristic; buses stop there. Someone who is buying a house goes and looks at the street and sees the bus stop; what do they think will happen when they move in? I doubt they thought the bus stop will cease to be used.
