Not sure what others think, the replacement for the current bus station looks to be something more in the nature of the transport hub at Bristol Centre, bus stops distributed along the roads, though with hopefully less non-public-transport traffic. Would it have been good to make the area buses only... I'm imagining their visual but with stationary queues of cars added to the mix...
The new bus station does make for longer hikes for people changing buses, and also many of the stops are going to be around twice as far from the railway station as before. The entire thing's going to depend on good signage and information, and it would be good to see a robust provision of loos, given that many of the buses see journeys of an hour or more.
Historically, the new facility will be very much on the route of the North Wiltshire Canal, and interpretation boards will probably be very much in order.
