Oh why did they pull down Skelhorne Street it was an ideal place to have a coach station , but the price of land in the city is just sky rocketing now .

I have to admit Norton Street wasn't ideal because of its location on the wrong side of the city but it had the space .

Don't forget, Skelhorne Street continued to operate after deregulation until the then owners (North Western?) needed to raise capital to keep its bus operations afloat. When it was sold to property speculators the land became a car park for years and Nat Ex used a portakabin on Brownlow Hill as a booking office until the recently closed coach station in Norton Street was built.
