I'm all for transport integration and the positioning of interchanges which allow users to effortlessly switch between different modes of transport is key to partially achieving that aim, however, in the case of Cramlington, if the bus station is located on the other side of Manor Walks, would it not be just as easy to relocate the bus station adjacent to where the station is currently located?
The railway station is currently located at Nelson Village, about 3/4 of a mile away from the existing bus stops at Manor Walks. There is a pay and display car park, Royal Mail sorting office and houses taking up the rather limited amount of space there. Service 58 already stops close to the station at Nelson Village, moving the bus station to the railway station will be quite, well, odd as NCC will be forced to install bus stops at the north end of Manor Walks (at Sainsbury's) (if there aren't already some), as it is quite a distance to walk.
