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. Thanks vjaska I now know understand that it’s not a Bus Station. |

I think we can all agree that a railway station where you could neither board nor alight from a train would soon be seen as an impostor, so the same principle must apply to buses. That is why Waterloo could never have been described as a bus station. I believe Cornwell Road, when so many services or part services terminated there, was officially known at one time by LT as Waterloo Bus Stand, a term I don't recollect being used in any other location.

Thanks vjaska I now know understand that it’s not a Bus Station. Although there’s this one announcement at Uxbridge that says “For the safety and security of all passengers, this bus station is covered 24 hours by Closed Circuit Television cameras”. So, this once again reopens the debate as to whether Uxbridge has a Bus Station or if it doesn’t.  |

Not only is Bakers Road a regular road managed by Hillingdon rather than TfL, none of the terminating routes alight there either as the alighting points are on Belmont Road. |

Such a hot topic! Very hard to agree on.
It's funny as several weeks ago I've decided to make a list of all London bus stations and it turned out to be rather hard. But some were pretty obvious, e.g Stratford and Edmonton. Had some obvious gaps which I filled as the time went by. Even this thread reminded me of some stuff that should've really been there.
As I made this before this thread existed, excuse some errors. The # symbol indicates ones outside GLA boundary. The ? mark should be pretty explanatory.

Would the 313 count because it gos from chigford station to potters bar station.
Would potters bar count as a bus station?
How about the 75 when its start being curtailed to west croydon ?

Potters Bar has a similar set up to Watford Junction albeit on a smaller scale, and Chingford actually, and as they both count then PB should also IMO. |

If Crossharbour counts, and as it has a dedicated roadway for buses only, and an office for TFL staff, I think it should count,then D8 is another to add to the list.
Talking of D8, to make it more useful, and also improving the 135 reliability, I'd swap the routeing of the two between Canary Wharf and Crossharbour.

I think 135 is fine the the way it is; just need to double deck the D6 and do something innovative with the d8! |
