Surprised its not been mentioned....

On the other hand, anyone who has been to S-O-T bus station must surely think its a bad idea.... bus stations are always dirty, dark, dingey and full of chavs / tramps / alcoholics (not to pigeon hole anyone or anything )

Surely that's just Stoke and not limited to the bus depot?

Sadly the british legion dunna get any money out of this operation....

They do, but not much. They've licensed the name.

Well i for one am pleased to hear that, do borough or county receive anything ?

So if we opened one and called it the new Bethany, nobody would notice?

This made me chuckle - so a skill point to you Sir!

I'm in two minds about the bus station....

On the one hand I think it would be good to have a single place to catch busses in the town without busses clogging up the roads like they do outside Sainsburys / Wilkinsons when they can't fit in the parking lane.

On the other hand, anyone who has been to S-O-T bus station must surely think its a bad idea.... bus stations are always dirty, dark, dingey and full of chavs / tramps / alcoholics (not to pigeon hole anyone or anything )

There are better bus stations than Stoke the new 1 at Digbeth Brum is supposed to be the best around when it opens.

The chav/ tramp / alcoholic problem will always be around unless the area is patrolled by a security team.
