Inspired by another thread on this forum (linked below), let's explore the other end of the spectrum.
While that thread explored "bus stations" that are barely bus stations, this thread will look at bus stations that are too grand for the level of services they receive. One example that comes to mind is Nelson Interchange, a nice fancy terminal (similar design to Burnley and Chorley) boasting 10 bays, yet only a few local services serve the rather modest town regularly (there is the Mainline to Keighley and another service to Clitheroe but not much else within the realms of interurban routes), which barely justifies 10 stands. The X43 stopped serving it years back except a few peak services and the Skipton extension, which broke off as a separate route, bypasses Nelson most of the time.
Any other such examples?
