A second transit hub would allow us to take some of the pressure off the Citywest transit hub, which has clearly been operating under significant pressure for a considerable period of time. The decision to pause entry into the overflow facility there was taken as a result of concerns around the impact of the sheer numbers that were being managed overnight there.
