View the <a title="Bus Station Demolition" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-31889521" target="_blank">drama here...</a> It was described as part of <a title="Brutalist Architecture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture" target="_blank">Brutalist architecture </a>- a most apt description.

It was always an architectural abomination - dark, over powering and described as brutal. For anyone who went into the bus station to catch a bus or just to use the toilets it was awful. There isn't a good word that can be said about it and I guess most people are pleased that it has now gone from the centre of the town. Despite this there was a group who tried to save the building but my guess is they didn't live in Northampton and never got on a bus from the oppressive place. Troglodytes will miss it.
