Can there be another bus station in the country that it is as difficult to get into as Eldon Square? Look at the ludicrous chicane and uncontrolled pedestrian crossing on Newgate Street. No Car lanes rather than Bus Only lanes. And so on.
Agreed I think they should of had a one way system from haymarket to eldon square station and move that stupid car park. Would of allowed the traffic to flow a lot easier.
Newgate is terrible road, specially on evenings when everyone is drunk and can't see a bus tootling along.
A lot of the congestion though is taxis who park at bus stops and clog up every available bit of space on city centre bus routes
