The curved structure also provides a sheltered route for pedestrians walking between the adjacent railway station and the town centre.The 130 metre-long canopy folds down at one end to wrap a glazed two-storey building that accommodates bus driver facilities, a cafe, a newsagent, toilets, a waiting room and a ticket office.The bus station is part of a masterplan for the area and will eventually be surrounded by five new office towers of between eight and fourteen stories.
