Cambridge Bus Station re-opening 22 Jun 1986 - Side 1

It is hard to imagine that it was 35 years ago (on 22 June 1986) that Drummer Street bus station re-opened following a layout change that had existed from its inception.

As the years went by and vehicles got larger the old layout became cramped and the central island which housed an office and waiting shelter became an obstacle to movements. In the re-design the central island was removed and the nose in bus stand layout we know today was created. Initially normal bus shelters provided cover for waiting passengers but in time these were replaced with the large structure which exists today.

This information leaflet was produced showing which bays were used in the redesigned bus station. Page 2 follows in the next frame........
