    Yes mate, A1 - i.e right in front of the main door from the building to the bus station itself.

    And, against what most people say on here, the experience isn't that bad. A lot of students use the service. I actually found this service to be better than the National Express service as it stops less.

    Used it once and it was an old double-decker bus repainted! Trundled down in four hours, the company was very entertaining! Me and the missus got chatting to a group of six cockney lesbians who were coming back from an all-night rave in Leeds. They were all spangled on disco biscuits so kept offering us yogurts and milkshakes every two minutes but they were pretty good value.

    Butch one - "Are you from Sheffield?"
    Me - "Yep"
    Fem one who would have been very attractive if she didn't have a boys' haircut - "I thought I recognised your northern accents. Yours is especially strong, proper Yorkshire (to my wife)"
    Mrs Merde - "I'm from slightly further north than you think........"
