A new bus and coach station is to open in West London this weekend.
The White City bus station will be officially unveiled on Saturday (November 29th) and is expected to serve 10,000 passengers a day.
As well as serving the local community, the terminal will also improve access to the recently-opened Westfield centre.
Interchange will be available for passengers heading to the White City Estate, the BBC Television Centre and the new Wood Lane Tube station.
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: “Despite a collective tightening of the nation’s wallets, the capital’s buses are defying the economic downturn as passenger numbers continue to rise.
“This superb new bus station will be a real boon for local people and for shoppers going to Westfield.”
The station will include a supervisor’s office and a rest-room for drivers, as well as baby changing facilities and public toilets.
A total of nine routes will serve the station, with 135 buses due to pass through the terminal each year.
