Bus and coach stations area dying breed (outside London, that is). They are costly to build, run and maintain, the bus is no longer a matter of municipal pride, and the operators aren't interested in allowing the crews to wander away from the cab.
There are - and were - some horrors. The Black Hole that is Chatham bus station is due to close shortly.
The magnificence that was Cheltenham on a busy holiday weekend, when 160 or more coaches would squeeze in to St Margaret's Coach Station is now a fading memory.
Digbeth is brighter (so they say!)
This little collection tries to recall some of the places where we once flocked to catch the bus home, to meet a girl friend or (and you had to be really strange to do this!) to take a few photographs. |
