By coincidence this Stagecoach Alexander Dennis Trident seen leaving Exeter Bus Station carried a reminder of the old registration system with it's FOD as that was a Devon marque. Once it was a hive of activity especially in the days when the lower coach station was full of tour coaches or a Bank Holiday Serge of express coaches and reliefs heading to and from the West Country. I went there many times before it was run down and then closed yet I still can't remember if it's Paul Street or Paris Street.
It's only half-closed! 7 bays at Paris Street remain in use whilst the Coach & Bus Station site is being redeveloped, eventually to include a new (smaller) Bus Station.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I thought it might have completely gone. It had a certain individuality and charm but no doubt the new one will look like all the others mostly glass and CCTV camera.
