Default New Victoria Bus Station

So route 8 has been evicted, protection against the worst of the weather
removed and passenger information downgraded further, if that is possible.
Just what was the point of the Victoria bus station redevelopment?

Chris


Presumably twofold:

(a) to show us mere passengers just how contemptuously we are regarded by
London Buses, and

(b) to enable easier access for lorries and heavy equipment and diversions
etc. when the entire site is redeveloped. The roof of the old bus station would
have hampered the redevelopment because of the closeness of its Westen boundary
to the tube station which is about ot be demolished.
