Ah, the "Transport Interchange" project that includes absolutely no
transport interchange improvements whatsoever*. I've just been looking
at the revised planning application and they're no longer even
planning to flatten the District Line station building or the bus
station, which means it doesn't even affect transport in the area. At
best it may incorporate part of the new Bressenden Place tube station
ticket hall.

They've also decided to retain Portland House (the Centre Point
clone), presumably on the grounds that they'd never get permission to
replace it with anything as tall.

(* it appears to be so named because it's _next to_ the existing
Victoria transport interchange)

Wasn't the original hairbrain scheme to do away with the centralised
bus termimus altogether, and have passengers scurrying all over the
place to find the different bus terminating points?
