I'm not sure that whoever designed the bus station, or Interchange as purists would have it, wasn't on some sort of sadism trip or just plain incompetent or maybe both. The place consists of a long line of bays, over 30 I think, from which depart buses laden with passengers and into which buses similarly arrive. Simple you might have thought except when the arriving buses meet the departing buses at the same time or even better when a load of buses all depart at the same time. There then takes place an elaborate slow motion dance of the omnibuses with the lower number bays giving way to the higher ones. It's just the sort of barmy, ill thought out cheap-o design we've come to expect around here. It matches the similarly badly designed passenger waiting side of the shop which I moaned about before here. Still it does give time to take a few photos while we wait our opportunity to go home at long last.

Weekend reflections are here.
Chaotic! Some of our city bus hubs can feel like that at times.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with William, so of ours operate like this also. But great reflection!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed some times just how tightly a bus can turn to overtake one parked quite closely in front.
ReplyDeleteThe joys of island life, we don't have enough buses to cause chaos at the station. I'm sure I'd even have enough for a refection shot. I'm sure most of us bloggers, blog to out town angst out our system.
ReplyDeleteProbably designed by people who never travel on buses!
