Picking up on the theme of bus stations - are some of them too clinical now?

If you look at the older stations which have been touched on in another thread, the old Park Lane or Central Bus Station had something about them, which carried across into the photo. Worswick Street and Marlbrough Crescent had an air of being 'worn', possibly 'dirty' and again, that was portrayed in the images.
Or is it just me harking back and looking through rose tinted glasses again?
