Isn't it some sort of new bus station?

"In April 2000, planning permission for a £15m "beetle-shaped" bus station
was being sought, with completion planned for December 2001".

Is it not finished yet then ? ;-)

I think you might be refering to an early design John, there was a
definate 'pod' deign floating around a few years back which seemed to
have been ditched. I think what everyone is commenting are the two big
arms or mandibles that are being constructed carrying solar cells
providing some of the stations power. I'm prepared to be proved wrong
but I think they will look terrible when finished as it looks pretty
bad in the 'Artists Impression'!
