Re: Cardiff\\\'s new bus station: Two possible sites emerge - and users WILL have a say

Alex
If it's to the south of the station then it could integrate with the new southern entrance to the train station that's being built.


marvellous, Wales's main transport hub will have a train station entrance like Hemel Hempstead and a bus station, knowing Cardiff City Council's ability to spend money, that would be fitting of Bognor Regis

There's no need to be so cynical. I'm sure it will be lovely.

Re: Cardiff\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

What's the consensus on where would we want to see the new bus station go? I always thought it would look better and cause less disruption if located on the Marland House/NCP site but if the bus station can be fully integrated into the train station if it's located south of Cardiff Central then that surely should be chosen, especially if a metro spur to Cardiff Bay is included.

Re: Cardiff\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

To be fair Swansea's bus station is fairly decent for its purpose abd isn't there a new one in Newport now? Or is that planned? I'm never that impressed by bus stations anywhere in Europe, although something like at Greenwich North would be great in Carduff, although I doubt we could even achieve that.

Surely they are employing specialists for it's planning and construction, so the process of asking a few peoples opinions probably isn't that useful. It needs to be linked to the future tram/metro system, so which ever is best for that would make sense?

Quite. Unless they want to think about future plans of having it go from south st Mary street via Callaghan sq?

Re: Cardiff\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

It could still be a viable link if the second tunnel in the train station with lift access to the platforms was reconfigured as a through-route. The ticket gates could be located in the lift door recesses instead of either end of the tunnel. I think there would still be space for wheel chairs/prams/luggage etc, although it is not ideal.
