Cardiff Central bus station
Encyclopedia
Cardiff Central bus station is the main bus
transport interchange in Cardiff
, the capital city of Wales
. With 34 stands, it is the largest bus station in the city and in Wales
. It is located adjacent to Cardiff Central railway station
forming a major bus-rail-cycle-taxi interchange.
The station used to handle the vast majority of bus
and coach services that run in and through the city. Notable exceptions to this are the Megabus
service (which calls at Kingsway and Cardiff University
), Stagecoach route 122 (which calls at Greyfriars Road) and EST route 89 (which uses Customhouse Street). However most city services now circle the city centre without calling at the station
The site of Cardiff's bus station had previously been an area of housing and shops known as Temperance Town
. However, demolition of Temperance Town commenced in 1937 after the Great Western Railway
persuaded the Cardiff Corporation to improve the view from their new railway station.
The Central bus station was opened in 1954.
Demolition and reconstruction of the bus station began in 2008 with the terminus building being demolished. Before work began, there were 8 concourses lettered A-F and W with each concourse having numbered stands.
On 6 May 2008, Stand A at the bus station closed for demolition of the terminal buildings.
As of 4 January 2009, some services reverted to using the bus station, whilst others remained split between the alternative terminal points and the bus station depending on day and time.
A multi-million-pound modernisation of Cardiff central bus station could begin in 2011. The public will be asked to decide on three options for the future of the ageing hub during a two-month consultation to be launched before Christmas 2010.
