Figure 011 - Example 5: Bus Interchange
In Figure 011, based on the Royal Pavilion area of Brighton Town Centre, stops 'D', 'E' and 'F' comprise an on-street clustered 'GCLS' stop area with individually identified poles. Depending on the pattern of bus turning movements at the junction of 'Old Steine' and 'Castle Square', stops 'T', 'U' and 'V' and even 'G', 'H', & 'J' could also be included in the stop area. Similarly, other stop areas could be used to group other stop clusters such as 'A', 'B', 'C', 'Y', 'X', 'W'. A single stop area probably should not be used, as the stops at the extremities (e.g. A and M) are more than 250m apart, and do not constitute an obvious interchange: the general association of all the stops with a common NPTG locality of Brighton Town Centre suffices to indicate a degree of relatedness.
- A stop area is defined for the interchange, and the three stops are assigned to it.
- The stops are all Principal Timing Points.
Figure 012 shows a stop hierarchy - with a stop area and three stops.
