I was at first annoyed the bus station was closed when it was not going to be demolished straight away.

I think it will still be demolished, it is a magnet hub for drop outs, beggars and gay boys. Since it has been closed such people who used to annoy me when catching my bus have had to find somewhere else to go.

The Street stops seem to be working well, but big shelters are needed. like the ones on victoria street.

Also too much work has been performed on morledge and the raised pavement outside bus station to be dug up again a few months later.

Bus station will be fenced off for ever and ever.
