• Work on roofing over the bus terminus at Victoria main line station—next stage in London Transport's plans to make interchange between trains and buses more comfortable and convenient—will start next month.
Buses will continue to use the terminus while the 12,000 sq.ft. canopy is being built, but some temporary changes will be made to the boarding points as work progresses. The refreshment room for bus crews will be modernized and equipped as an automatic vending canteen.
Work is expected to start soon on rearranging and enlarging the bus terminus in the forecourt of London Bridge Station so that the distances between trains and buses will be shorter for many of the eight million-a-year bus passengers. The bus stands may be roofed over later.
Another project being planned by LT is a covered bus station at Finsbury Park, linked by a short canopy to a new ticket office. More than six-and-a-half-million passengers a year interchange between trains and buses there. Work has already started on building a canopy over the bus station at Hounslow.
