AFAIK, York has never had a bus station, with the nearest thing to it being Rougier Street where there were stops, a small layover area and the West Yorkshire travel office.
On the ones above:
- Brighton had Pool Valley for Southdown services until they vacated it and it became a coach station.
- Burton on Trent had a bus station on Wetmore Road (now housing) adjacent to the Trent Bridge but think it went during the mid 1980s.
- Ashbourne does have a bus station - the bus stops on King Edward Road are listed as such, having also had public toilets and it was a throwback to when the depot was there
- Southampton bus station was famously sold by Stagecoach, paying for Hampshire Bus in the process, in 1987
- Bournemouth bus station was also notorious having been the scene of a fire that consumed the depot beneath and was left structurally unsafe in 1976; however, it does have the bus station at the rail station which used to be called Bournemouth Interchange but is now called Bournemouth rail station (but is undoubtedly a bus station)
- Central London does have a bus station - it's in Aldgate! I'd also argue London Bridge also has a bus station, and TfL still refer to the stops outside Victoria as Victoria Bus Station
- Birmingham lost the Bull Ring (no loss there) in 1999/2000 and so nothing in the centre. In fact, the Birmingham City Council area has nothing designated as a bus station with Chelmsley Wood (Solihull) and Bearwood (Sandwell) bus stations being outside the limits. However, the One Stop Centre at Perry Barr has got something that is a really poor bus station, if not in name.
Another place that never had a bus station (that I know of) is Stockton on Tees.
Other major places without bus stations are Plymouth and Reading - again, like Brum, they have lost them but they were terrible.
