Cardiff Central bus station is the main bus transport interchange in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. With 34 stands, it is the largest bus station in the city and in Wales. It is located adjacent to Cardiff Central railway station forming a major bus-rail-cycle-taxi interchange. The station used to handle the vast majority of bus and coach services that run in and through the city. Notable exceptions to this are the Megabus service (which calls at Kingsway and Cardiff University),〔http://www.megabus.com/uk/timetables/cardiff_london_bus.php〕 Stagecoach route 122 (which calls at Greyfriars Road)〔http://www.stagecoachbus.com/timetables/122Oct08().pdf〕 and EST route 89 (which uses Customhouse Street).〔()〕 However some city services now circle the city centre without calling at the station. ==History== The site of Cardiff's bus station had previously been an area of housing and shops known as Temperance Town. However, demolition of Temperance Town commenced in 1937 after the Great Western Railway persuaded the Cardiff Corporation to improve the view from their new railway station.〔Abandoned Communities website ''(Abandoned Communities ..... Temperance Town )'' (viewed 11 October 2011)〕 The Central bus station was opened in 1954.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= www.localhistories.org )〕 Demolition and reconstruction of the bus station began in 2008 with the terminus building being demolished. Before work began, there were 8 concourses lettered A-F and W with each concourse having numbered stands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cardiff Central bus station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
