This is another thing , why do they have to shove that thing right in everyone's faces ?
I thought Llandaff was fine , tucked out of the way out there ?
Everytime I see that all I can think of is Derek Brockway , the daft rugby adverts and crappy second rate regional comedy and drama
They should have built it on stilts and put the bus station underneath
If the BBC was self funded this is not likely to have have happened
It's strange that the new BBC Wales building has car parking facilities, unlike pretty much every other new development in the city centre.
What's the latest with the new bus station? I'm completely out of touch with those sort of things now I'm a valleyite.
The new BBC Wales building cost about £100m - £120m. The new Eastenders set alone cost £87m. I know which I think is better value.
The new bus station Bob is bring built as part of another building nearer Cardiff Central (just to the right i think). It will have 14 bays.
I love the building. It's great that Cardiff is finally having a streetscape outside the main station befitting a capital city.
Shame the city centre is dead and the trains are half empty, but at least it looks better!
The main point about the new building is that it was built without asking the people who have to work there what they actually needed
Here you go- long gone are the days of sitting in a long dark bus stop with a puddle of piss every few yards.

London bbc staff always hated coming by train then getting to llandaff also….they like convenience I guess. Easy for commuting now but nowhere to park really. Wandered down that street last week for the first time in years, you think you are in a different city to be honest it looks so different now….
Yeah, don't get me wrong. Cardiff's obsession with being 'world class' is cringe, but, first impressions matter and the first impression of Cardiff is now vastly better.
Helps that the BBC Llandaff site is large and in a very desirable neighbourhood too.
It's all good though.
