Peterborough on the buses: Life before the Queensgate bus station opened

It is hard to imagine Peterborough without the Queensgate Bus Station nowadays – it is such an important feature of the city centre.

But before March 1982, the city’s bus station was located on Bishops Road, close to the Magistrates’ Court.

Now it is a car park, retaining its transport roots.

John Bland was on hand in 1982 to capture some images of the old bus station, before the city’s transport infrastructure was changed forever.
