This cafe used to be the public lavatories until
using a toilet went out of fashion.

A crossing for the agile-fingered
Hatfield Rd (part of the A1057), St Alban's. On the right is Clarence Park https://www.enjoystalbans.com/listing/clarence-park/ , on the left Station Way. The button to be pressed on this crossing requires some dexterity to reach as there is only a tiny gap between it and the railings behind. In fact there isn't actually a crossing here, only a double set of lights (one for cyclists, one for other vehicles). So why is there a pelican-crossing style button on these lights at all?

All aboard for Marshalswick
A 341 departs St. Albans City station for the suburbs. Originally built as a coach, now demoted to bus duties, RMC1497 sports National Bus Company leaf green livery. London Country green was much darker than this. The London Country Routemasters were retired quite a few years back, but see
Image for a preserved example in the city centre.

09:30 St. Albans City Station
Buses had been passing through the station one or two at a time, then suddenly at 09:30 all the island stands had buses with others queuing behind! Presumably the timetables are planned to connect with London bound services - or perhaps it was just a result of rush hour traffic. Anyway, the Uno buses certainly make for a colourful start to the day!
Uno is the operating name of UniversityBus. The company was set up by the University of Hertfordshire in 1992 to provide student transport to the expanding university from local areas as well as improving east-west travel across the county and opening up new links from North London. It is now a major bus service provider.
