Northampton - Greyfriars Bus Station

Following the video of Northampton on a wet and cold day in January this looks at the Greyfriars Bus Station.

Filmed in July 2008, on a very warm evening, it centres on the underground concourse, the bus bays and the car park above which was closed last year because of damage to cars.

For more pictures of the bus station there is a group dedicated to it on Flickr:

The music is by Kevin MacLeod. His website is: http://incompetech.com/

Did anyone else watch this and suddenly realize it would be appropriate for a cheesy horror film?

That place aint changed a bit for 30 years that I know of... I once got mugged by the lift at 15 & 20 seconds in. Ive been chased by security across the carpark and got my first blow job at the stairwell at the mounts end of the station. A right bunch of Chav cunt's used to try and bum money off me and me mates from the bench seat in front of the top of the escalators some 20 years ago every time we ascended to get the bus home on a Saturday. Theres a bit of history for ya!!

I used to catch the bus to school from here everyday - I had to be careful of all the sleazy old men who used to flash their private parts to the school girls - this music really suits my memories of this bus station...YUCK!
