Of course a bit further back than that, and you also had Northern services using the Worswick Street bus station.
In my opinion though, as dark and gloomy as it was, it still functioned better as a bus station, than the present Eldon Square does.
It didn't carry as many services as the current Eldon Square bus station, though - I oculd wait ages for whatever arriva service was heading towards Low Fell (only bothered when the weather was dire or else I stood at the Odeon and waited for a 1 or 27!) and only see a handful of other buses passing through. And the biggest problem with it, now, is getting in and out of it. On bad days, it can be 5-10 minutes between a bus coming into sight at one end and actually getting in.
