Best for praticality has gotta be Preston LARGE spacious and not overly busy.
But needs a urgent revamp.

From a drivers point of view Wolverhampton is the best as the carriageway doesn't share it's space with pedestrians also Halesowen is pretty good as there is only one crossing point and its signal controlled. Stourbridge is a bit of a pain with the two crossings and would benefit in a change of priorities on the entrance/ junction of foster street the road the angle and camber of the road has altered but priorities remained. Cradley is ok nice and basic but not at all busy. Oldbury is a mess west Brom is ok apart from concerns raised in previous posts. Dudley isn't too bad as its big but to get off the X96 stand towards merry hill is chaos there is not enough room was worse when it was the 246 stand due to the frequency. Both Walsall ones are pretty awful and as for merry hill it speaks for it self! It is after all a mini bus station.

Worse

- Merry Hill For Reasons Listed above,too many services not enough stands
- Manchester Piccadilly Same problem as Merry Hill - At peak times you have have almost 20-30 buses (most of time Enviro 400s) trying to Que/Overtake around plus if a bus breaks down your pretty much screwed,Plus theres no toilets that i know of
- Rochdale Bus Stn Old,Smelly,thank god its getting replaced soon.but on plus side,Overcrowding isnt much of an issue these days

Best
- Barnsley Interchange Perfect amount of stands,easy to get from stand to stand,Kept very clean but you do have to pay to use toilets
- Bradford Interchange Same As Barnsley,Plus its the only Bus Stn within West Yorkshire were travel centre is open on Sundays (Even if it is for just getting bus timetables)
- Manchester Shudehill Nice Neat Little Bus Stn,Not Very good for travel info but it serves basically its purpose,plus considering its right in the heart of Manchester City centre there isnt that many youths there on a evening
