RE: Hexham Bus Station - BusLoverMum - 04 Jan 2020
(04 Jan 2020, 10:15 pm)Dan I don’t think it’s too bad to be honest.I would say it's safer for passengers and pedestrians, too. There wasn't much waiting space at the old bus station and people had to cross the roads in and out of the bus station just to walk along the pavement.
I quite like the new location and consider it to be more centrally based; whilst it’s a little further away from the shops in the town centre, it’s much closer to the hospital, and a bit closer to the rail station and the shops around that area.
The facilities are a vast improvement and it’s much better for space for the buses. No more awkward reverse manoeuvres!

You'll not be surprised to hear that I'm not a fan of the location, it's way too far away from a Greggs which is the first thing I always need when I've been on a 'long' journey!

I find the ones in the bus station to be rather nice, at least you don't have to pay for them unlike the ones in Durham and Gateshead!
