History

The bus station opened in June 2005 replacing the previous bus station on this site. Designed by RPS Group. It cost £6 million and has improved interchange access with both the tube and rail stations at Walthamstow Central. According to Walthamstow borough the bus station is the third-busiest in the capital and it is open 24 hours.[1]

Future

In April 2011, it was proposed by consultants, as part of masterplanning for Walthamstow town centre, that the bus station be demolished,[2] and the area converted into a park.

gollark: I thought you meant software controlled hard power switches but now I'm confused.
gollark: Wait, how would that work?
gollark: Good enough, then.
gollark: It would be nice to be entirely FOSS, but I'd be happy with just Linux-with-minimal-blobs.
