Route 149 Uxbridge is not a bus station - bus stations are private land generally not owned by the council and Bakers Road is a public road maintained by Hillingdon. Okay then Uxbridge is not a Bus Station. I don't follow? |

TfL only regard a bus station as staffed, there are 29 of them. As you are part of TfL could you clear this up is Uxbridge a Bus Station or not? I ask because there is a information desk which is I presume is staffed by TfL.  |

Eltham Station counts. Why don't you agree with Finsbury Park being on there? I know why all the terminating routes at Finsbury Park can't be together, but even allowing for that, I'm not convinced that current arrangements are the best they could be, though they're certainly better for the 19 and 236 than they were for decades, for passengers at least: Plimsoll Road terminus was the site of a well-used staff canteen. i'll qualify my remark by amending it to not thinking Wells Terrace counts as a bus station. Erm - that would be this Wells Terrace right? The one that used to have a nice big roof with the words "BUS STATION" in nice big letters?
In all seriousness, when you said Finsbury Park I assumed you were referring to Station Place, which I'd never really thought of as a bus station. Wells Terrace, on the other hand, was always a bus station to me, and I don't think removing the roof changed that. Admittedly this might be because Wells Terrace was the first bus station that I became familiar with as a child.
Incidentally there's a write-up of the various termini at Finsbury Park on the Red RF site - including mention of the new bus station at Wells Terrace  |

What is your definition of a bus station? Somewhere like Victoria or Turnpike Lane where you have designated bus stands under cover, or places like Golders Green Station where they park in the open? I don't think the bus stands have to be undercover for it to be a bus station. I would call a piece of land which is a dedicated bus terminus/has infrastructure provisions for buses to call at. I wouldn't say the 81 starts at Hounslow Bus Station because the first stop on the route isn't in Hounslow Bus Station. Its not always black and white but here's a list I've made: Peckham Edmonton Green Tottenham Hale London Bridge Turnpike Lane Slough Kingston (Cromwell Road and Fairfield) Harrow Stratford (Broadway and City) Brent Cross Golders Green Chingford Edgware Watford Junction Finsbury Park (Blackstock Road and Wells Terrace) Vauxhall Hammersmith (Upper and Lower) Euston White City Staines Richmond Walthamstow Central Hounslow St James's Street Heathrow (Central and T5) Waltham Cross Canning Town Liverpool Street Putney Bridge Aldgate One's I don't think count: Ealing Hospital Uxbridge Lewisham Station Romford Station Clapham Junction Beckton bus station |

Not a chance. Mortlake 'Bus Station' just overglorifies the turning circle for the 209 and 609. Whilst it is a designated piece of land for buses to stand on, I think it is far too small to be considered a bus station seeing as it only has one stop and one route. Yet the bus stop on Avondale Road says towards Mortlake Bus Station |

He means the 149 starts at a bus station - London Bridge and ends at a bus station - Edmonton Green |

Romford Station doesn't count as a bus station. All it is is an alighting point just shy of the area where buses stand. |

It's an NTC base not staffed. quote author=" COBO" source="/post/484909/thread" timestamp="1551649233"] TfL only regard a bus station as staffed, there are 29 of them. As you are part of TfL could you clear this up is Uxbridge a Bus Station or not? I ask because there is a information desk which is I presume is staffed by TfL. [/quote] |

COBO it's clearly not a bus station as I pointed out to yourself before. Bakers Road is open to all traffic and is a regular road managed by Hillingdon.
