Apparently Plot 6, the obvious place for a bus/rail interchange that could share the station's new passenger facilities, is not in Network Rail's plans.   They have spoken, though, of an 'interchange' more like that in Old Market.   A couple of new bus stops, in fact!

I think the LEP» (Local Enterprise Partnership - about), who are leading the 'partnership' of different public agencies, including Network Rail, that's building a 'strategic vision' for the whole Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, don't have a proper transport hub on their agenda either.   The nearest we can get to their thinking is a 'fly-through' concept video complete with lots of artists impressions of waterside piazzas and coffee shops.   It's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3hAC3NyIvk .  Quite entertaining as an example of its craft, but probably created more as a marketing tool than to inform.

^21m Temple Quarter transport investment - so where's the interchange?   My 'Stockwood Pete' blog at http://stockwoodpete.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/whatever-isnt-happening-at-temple-meads.html
