A few things regarding bus stations...
Went to Sunderland Park Lane the other day, had to use the bogs here (TMI I know) and it looks like at least some of the lights have been changed to normal bulbs although some of them still have the blue bulbs so it at least looks a bit less dark, still grotty as owt though.
Went to Hexham yesterday and the bus station is so unbelievably tight to navigate round with some of the buses having to reverse in the bus station to get in/out and onto the stands. Think a new Bus Station is a good idea but the problem is it would have to be further from the shops than it is now which I can't imagine some people will be too happy about.
