History[]
The Bus Station has been on its current site since the 1960s. It was redeveloped in 2009 with improved lighting and new kerbs, as well as the UK's largest outdoor mural being painted onto the ceiling.
In 2017, the bus station was severely flooded. Also in 2017 a £134million redesign of the bus station was revealed.
In 2020, Yellow Buses stopped using the station due to Anti-social behaviour in the area.
