The previous bus station opened on a site in Paris Street on 5 July 1964, replacing an earlier bus station on Paul Street which became a car park. [1]
Construction of a new bus station on part of the existing site started in January 2019. [2] The construction was funded by the council. The development also included a leisure centre called St Sidwell's Point. [3] The project had been intended to start construction in December 2018, but was delayed.
