Yeah that's my big worry. How long before the Metro gets taken out of service again? How long before we have to navigate giant cages to get from one end of town go the other amid the daily noise and dust of pneumatic drills?

I shouldn't be moaning, but I am lol. I'm looking forward go the closing ceremony though and some of the events have been amazing especially Eilish McColgans win.
 
I suspect they will be keen to keep visitors to the city happy until the end of September at least to ride the momumtum over the remainder of the summer, so I don't expect any Council/Mayor shit housery until then at the least. Which is when they announced the bull would get moved to a permanent indoor location.

Let’s hope so. Town looked a bit empty again today. Those clever signs and images to cover up the closed down shops are already peeling etc. I had to get the metro over to West Brom and waited 17 minutes before squeezing on and melting…

Metro to West Brom might be considered a luxurious distant memory in a couple of weeks when all the tourists have gone. Back to the good old 74 through Soho Road with traffic lights every 10 yards.
 
moomoo i didn’t realise the activities had been cancelled. I wonder if that affects the lights at dusk or if that’s automatic?

Will still go & fingers crossed Que Club on to as website doesn’t say closed.

The sunrise/sunset lights are still happening, as are some of the “relaxing” scheduled activities, but anything remotely loud/fun like the bands, DJ’s etc has been binned.

Let me know about the lights at dusk please as we are planning to go back next weekend. I’ve a feeling they are not affected though.
 
moomoo i didn’t wait this evening to see the lights as I’m back in the centre tomorrow eve for a gig so will pop back for a look.

I thoroughly enjoyed Poli-nation, The Que Club exhibition & having a wander about. We walked over to the Que Club just because so saw lots of beautiful buildings & doors.
