To the Danesgate Pedestrianised Area To the East Side of Lytton Way To Taxis and Buses on the West Side of Lytton Way To the Leisure Centre |
The easiest way to reach the pedestrianised area, including the shopping centre and bus station is via the ramp. Turn left from the booking hall, (or right from the lift) then continue, straight down the ramp. A few metres beyond the foot of the ramp, you cross a cycle way bounded by bollards. Beyond this, you're in the pedestrianised area with the bus station to your right and the shopping centre in front of you and to your left.
Details of these facilities lie beyond the scope of this survey.

Note the pavement beside the taxi rank is narrow with two benches jutting out into it from the wall, just before the pick-up point.
Turn left from the bridge, go along a short passage then down a series of 12 pairs of steps with a slope between each. Some people may find these awkward.
At the bottom, turn left (180 degrees) towards the taxi rank, or right (180 degrees) towards the bus stop.
