Why are Bus Stations a haven for nutters, druggies, bag ladies, and bums, etc?
Discuss.

Because you can sit under a shelter, people frequent it and probably have change, and maybe they eventually want to go somewhere.

lets face it, the bus stations you are on about are:
newcastle eldon square
and
stockton
both of which are full of EVUL ppl at all times
I think that is enough explanation about the subject :/

Stockton is too **** even to have a Bus Station. Or at least, if they have one, they never told me about it in the 19 years I lived there.
Darlington's Bus Station doesn't have any weirdo's, except when I go, however, it is basically a 40 foot high metal shed that was erected when Tiberius was on the throne, and it stinks to ****. I think they take the cows in it on a night. Just imagine Eldon Square but 100 times ****ter and older and darker. That's Darlington Bus Station.
It is without a doubt the ugliest and filthiest one I've ever been in.
Here's a trick, though: Sit down in Eldon Square Bus Station, and wait twenty minutes. You will be accosted by at least two druggies asking for money. I think one girl actually lives in there.

Middlesbrough's is just full of twats. You don't get any intrestingly insane people in there.
(Edit: Actually, Middlesbrough is full of twats, now I come to think of it. And Stockton. The whole of Teeside, actually. Teeside is twat capital of The North East, possibly the world.)

Beacause bus stations are (often) under shelter. There are lots of people going throught there, so many to ask for money or rob. There are also easy to do crimes there, like shooting heroine, prostitution, selling drugs etc, since there are so many people around.

I always use the same few bus-stops out of habit.
This avoids the uncomfortable experience of sitting on a tramp or having someone test out their new mobile ringtones next to you for 10 minutes.

Merry Hill Bus Station and the Stourbridge Bus Station seem fine to me. Never had any real problems. Only had three occurances at Stourbridge of people asking for change, one was actually just for the bus.

I bought a car.

Srictly speaking Darlington Bus Station is a garage\depot. It's where the buses go on a night, and where the local bus spotters go to see the newest and most exiting buses.
Incidently, I've never been attacked by a hobo at Darlington Bus Station, but today 3 Arabs got on the same bus as me, which was scarier than any hobo could ever be.
Yes, I know I'm racist\xenophobic\paranoid.

The best part of that site :
"This Page Is A Free Page And Will Remain Free"
Anyway bus stations attract the worst since you are dealing with the retards who got on a bus to go to the town centre but then couldn't think of anywhere to go after that. Also they are generally unsupervised unclean **** holes where idiots can throw their weight around.
Although, West Croydon bus station constantly plays classical music, presumably in an attempt to turn the tide against the idiocy which has developed in most of it's users.
