  • Bad design. It's ugly, obtrusive and dark. It is also virtually inaccessible by foot unless you are brave enough to go into the long subway which stinks and has chavs lurking around the corner. It had offices built as part of it but they are empty and disused. It needs to be demolished and replaced with a simple, sheltered row of bus stands. It doesn't have to be special, because look what happened when they tried.
  • Generally agreed to be one of the most aesthetically repulsive buildings on the planet.
