I had a brief stop in York today, so decided to see how the Station Gateway was coming along. I was bemused by these signs that seem like a cross between 'caution pedestrians' and 'no pedestrians' dotted near the cycle path and bus stops. @showmeasign.online

The problem is they start parking there too. This one is parked in the same spot almost every day near me. Use the allocated parking spaces right next to it? Nah, it's not like this space was being used for anything...

Saw this "give way" sign in Blyth today @showmeasign.online

Interesting things I noticed:
South Shields is placed at the old station site.
They decided to draw Pelaw junction on the map, which seems odd.

Fun fact: Aruba is one of the few territories in the world with dual membership to the Universal Postal Union.

The new lift takes ~70 secs compared to the old lift's ~30 secs, but the new lift is much more spacious and can fit more people per trip.

Finally got to try out the new inclined lift for the pedestrian/cycle tunnels. It definitely looks the part.
