You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Aldgate bus station''' serves the [[Aldgate]] area of the [[City of London]], England. The station is owned and maintained by [[Transport for London]] and located directly south of [[Aldgate tube station]].

Also known as [[Minories]] bus station or lay-by, it was the first dedicated bus station in the City of London,<ref>((citation|title=Report, Improvements and town planning committee to the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor: Aldermen and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council Assembled, on the Preliminary Draft Proposals for Post-war Reconstruction in the City of London|page=25|year=1944|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FAccAAAAIAAJ |quote=A further provision for temporarily stationary traffic off but very near the public way could advantageously be made at important and much frequented points by the creation of lay-bys for coaches, omnibuses and trolley-buses. The vehicles would thus be temporarily withdrawn from and thus not obstruct the main flow of traffic, while the waiting passengers could assemble (possibly under cover) without either obstructing passers-by or being jostled by them. One such already exists at Aldgate and Minories as a terminus, and we were examining the design for another in 1938 near Southwark Bridgehead.))</ref> and was formerly a major coach station and trolleybus terminal.

==Trolleybus terminal==
The [[City of London Corporation]] prohibited [[Trams in London|trams]] and [[Trolleybuses in London|trolleybuses]] from entering the square mile - Aldgate was therefore used as a terminal on the edge of the city. Opened in the 1930s, by 1947 it was the busiest bus station in London with 1,358 departures a day.<ref name="ad">((Cite web |url=https://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/features/fast-trolleys-kept-us-going-silently-through-war-and-peace-1-774949 |title=Fast trolleys kept us going silently through war and peace |last=Golds |first=Peter |website=East London Advertiser |language=en |access-date=2020-01-25))</ref> Trolleybus services ceased in 1961.<ref name="ad" /> In 1964 it was rebuilt as a bus and coach station.<ref>((citation|title=Annual Report and Accounts - London Transport Board|year=1964|page=9|publisher=Her Majesty's Stationery Office|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2gm6mTaeOEAC|quote=The Central Bus and Green Line coach station at Minories, Aldgate, was reconstructed, with new passenger and staff accommodation))</ref>

==Green Line Coach Station==
Aldgate was the base for [[Green Line Coaches]] serving [[Essex]], while other Green Line routes operated out of [[Green Line Coach Station]] at [[Victoria, London|Victoria]].<ref>Green Line Coaches ''[[Railway Gazette International|Railway Gazette]]'' 8 February 1946 page 158</ref><ref>[http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/30th-october-1964/28/larger-routemaster-coaches-for-green-line Larger Routemaster Coaches for Green Line Coaches] ''[[Commercial Motor]]'' 30 October 1964</ref>

==Recent history==
In January 2015 the bus station closed in connection with adjoining roadworks.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161106153123/https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2014/december/aldgate-bus-station-to-close-for-gyratory-removal-works Aldgate bus station to close for gyratory removal works] Transport for London 29 December 2014</ref><ref>Short Hops ''[[Buses (magazine)|Buses]]'' issue 719 February 2015 page 21</ref> It reopened in April 2016.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150909040603/https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/aldgate-gyratory Aldgate gyratory]  Transport for London</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161106152611/https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2016/april/liverpool-street-and-aldgate-bus-stations-to-re-open-this-weekend Liverpool Street and Aldgate bus stations to re-open this weekend] Transport for London 29 April 2016</ref>

==Services==
As at January 2020, it was served by five [[London Buses]] routes.<ref>[https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/stop/490003184L/aldgate-bus-station/ Aldgate Bus Station] Transport for London</ref>
