Pretty much, they badly need to remove the public right of way through the thing imo and seal both ends off and give it a proper refurbishment so it's actually a pleasant place.
It's basically the same basic 90's greenhouse with a fancy roof on top, up there with one of the worst in the country, even known there's Park Lane which is even worse.
For all it's failings as a place, Middlesbrough doesn't have half have a fantastic bus station.
