Slightly off subject, but when I am travelling around, I am quite surprised how many places in Yorkshire have bus stations and they seem to love them down there. Thinking of Heckmondwike, Castleford and Cleckheaton to name a couple.
I do think some of them are quite a way from the main shopping centres too like Wakefield but that one, everytime I have been there always seems well used.
