Arriving at 6 - minutes past 63 / 14 minutes to 12

My derive was immediately faltered as I deliberately headed straight to Preston Bus Station. It was a predictable thing for a Sign Writer to do. I was so in ore of the signage when I had my initial tour of Preston with Charles and Elaine, that I had to go straight back there and gawp.
The array of contradictory signage in the Bus Station is incredible, I do not mean this at all in a derogatory way. The mixture of type styles are extremely disparate: from the infamously neutral Helvetica (matching it's neighbouring Swiss Design clock) alongside hand painted texts, vinyl texts and pasted up A4 paper signs. This variety of co-existing type styles was definitely something I needed to look into.
