SU7076 : The bus link that never was

taken 17 years ago, near to Emmer Green, Reading, England

The bus link that never was
The bus link that never was
As part of the plan to develop this part of Hemdean Bottom, it was intended that this location would become a bus-only link, between Emmer Green and Caversham Heights, thus allowing a through route for buses but preventing rat-running. The road was built, and some housing either side, but the bus route never happened. Now, the bollards still prevent rat-running although the middle ones are removable. Presumably the emergency services have a key.
