Date Posted: 21:43:21 03/01/04 Mon In reply to: Amber Ghate 's message, "Re: Derby Bus Station" on 15:59:05 03/01/04 Mon I think/hope everyone agrees that the bus station needs to be improved. So what should replace it? A new bus station you might say. But what is proposed (not quite sure exactly what current plans are) is a massive multi storey commercial development on the bus station site, which will include a bus station. There are many pros and cons with this idea when you think about it i suppose. Benefits would be that it would be warm/dry and well lit. There would also probably be security provided by the people who own the property. Cons are that expansion would be difficult as it is a built in feature. Surely if anything a bigger station is needed. I fail to see how a reverse out bay style station would work with such a large volume of buses. maybe im wrong. I think the main Con - points are to do with the site itself. Public land being used to build it, over - shadowing of the river gardens, pollution and congestion. Maybe it should be built somewhere else? What are peoples thoughts/opinions? > >>Just to get things started a bit. What do you think >>about Derby bus Station?
