Preston Bus station: as you’ve never seen it before!

Preston Bus Station provokes all sorts of positive reactions.

In homage to this iconic piece of our heritage and prompted by the threat to demolish it, Rob Hasker has created this Lego transport hub based on the design of Preston Bus Station. We are all amazed and impressed by his skill!
