Seaton Bus Station?<\/span><\/p>\n For future reference, note the building that lies behind the yard; buildings that are on the Sea Front. That is the back view of Mariners Hotel.<\/p>\n A new building was added to the extensive forecourt and is now a delivery hub for “white van man”.<\/p>\n Peering along the right hand end is the workshop and the very basic offices of the current occupier of he depot.<\/p>\n Unless anyone “out there” knows better, these premises have never been a bus station<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n Another stop operates from the opposite side of the roundabout; see a keep left bollard peeping into the above picture bottom left.<\/p><\/div>\n The juxtaposition of the two stops can be glimpsed from Castle Hill.<\/p>\n Not quite visible in front of the nose of the Stagecoach single decker you will find a line of attractive flowerbeds.<\/p>\n They are kept well stocked, tidy and watered by a contractor to Seaton Town Council; and they do look rather nice and provide a colourful border to the sea views.<\/p>\n It is very welcoming and very pleasurable.<\/p><\/div>\n The Jubilee Gardens stop is marked with a BLUE<\/span> line and Marine Place had a PUCE<\/span> line. The new stop, destroying three flower beds, has a PINK<\/span> line.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n But, delightful though they be, they are to 1:50 scale and thus not a match for fbb’s other models.<\/p><\/div>\n Although fbb does not remember the vehicle, it really did exist and has a photo on-line – much to fbb’s amazement.<\/p>\n And, yes, he bought it on a whim with a New Year’s Day discount and free postage. Well, you couldn’t let a deal like that pass you by, could you?<\/p><\/div>\n fbb never visited Seaton Jurassic but Mrs fbb did with one of her “social” groups. She was bored to tears. And you can see why.<\/p>\n … and the tramway glitterati are pictured admiring their acquisition.<\/p>\n
