Trivia
The southbound side was refurbished quite extensively, but the northbound side wasn't and it's a lot smaller.
In the past this website used to describe the bridge between the two buildings, which is something quite temporary made permanent, as "nasty". We've now been told by a panel of experts that this is wrong, and that the correct description is "apocalyptic". The bridge, which is draughty and leaks, no longer plugs into the southbound building and instead you need to follow a path around the back.
The McDonalds is open 24 hours.
Ecotricity plan to install Electric Vehicle Charging Points here.
