You know the bus only area outside Putney Bridge Tube Station is that classed as a bus station? Yes Okay thanks. I didn’t think that it was classified as a bus station.

Okay thanks. I didn’t think that it was classified as a bus station. Yes, by definition a bus station is an area where buses arrive/depart and begin/end their routes. Ergo Putney Bridge counts as a bus station.

Ergo Putney Bridge counts as a bus station. A bus station has sheltered waiting facilities (and often toilets and sometimes cafes) for passengers. As far as I recall Putney Bridge does not.

Tell that to both the Oxford and Cambridge English dictionaries then.

Ergo Putney Bridge counts as a bus station. Is there an official list of bus stations in London? There’s a Wikipedia list, don’t know how official that one is, and Putney Bridge isn’t on that list

Ergo Putney Bridge counts as a bus station. Is that an and or an or? I think of bus stations up north like Brighouse bus station, no buses terminate there EDIT ... found lots of contradictory definitions, but Oxford dictionary defines a bus station as "a place in a town where buses arrive and depart."

Putney Bridge does have a partial shelter where buses start/stop, mainly for the routes heading south. Going by that definition, Hertford Bus Station isn’t a bus station despite both Google Maps & Arriva calling it one as it has no shelter, toilets or cafe, neither does Mortlake though it has a standard bus stop shelter

Not to mention a cafe across the street. Whilst not technically designated as a bus station by TfL I would argue that by definition it is one. I mean if we’re going on the idea that bus stations have it have toilets, cafes and covered shelters then neither Wimbledon or Kingston Fairfield count as bus stations by TfL designate them as one.

Also the 22 and 424 used to double run via it so it really was quite a hub to go to get buses in the Putney area.

Has there ever been a single decker within the UK that had a Plaxton Pointer body with a Volvo chasis?

Don’t know about any low floor versions though. No low floor version with a Plaxton Pointer body, the low floor Volvo B6LE (up to S reg) were on either ALX200 or Wright bodies whilst the B6BLE (T reg onwards) were on East Lancs or Wright Crusader bodies until the final ones in 2001 (ignoring three unfinished ones that were bodied much later on around 2004-05)
