Default New Victoria Bus Station

Removing the overall roof must surely be a retrogade step, in view of our wet
weather and, even in the Summer, the unbearable sunshine for those of us not
wishing to acquire skin cancer (something those refurbishing Waterloo also
overlooked, with its new clear glass roof, creating appalling heat and glare on
the platform area).

In the words of the London Buses inspector on duty there yesterday, when I
asked where to find route 8 nowadays: "It's at stop H, till they decide to move
it AGAIN"!

The refurbishment at Victoria is a relatively temporary solution. I
think there were health and safety issues with the previous narrow
bays.

A permanent solution would involve property demolition and a proper
expansion of the bus station (complete with better cover!)
