National Express Coach Station in Liverpool to close

RE: National Express Coach Station in Liverpool to close
There are currently disused layby's on Smithdown Lane at the top of Brownlow Hill by the old Archbishop Blanch school which could probably take 4 coaches with ample room to spare.

Okay, so it's not the city centre, but it's close, and it is close to the uni. The laybys themselves aren't exactly disused - they're currently 5mins free parking no-return, so they are never used by anybody because there is nothing around. I think they were more for the benefit of the school when that was there, but now they're just wasted space.

It'd be good if coaches could layover here, and maybe even serve it as a stop for the uni. I understand that the council has plans for the school site to become a new train station, but that is a few years off at least at the moment. Right now, the laybys are a good place to use for coach layover: the road has a decent width, and at this point there are no houses in the immediate vicinity to annoy residents with constant coach maneuvers.
