Kilmarnock bus station is a bus station in Kilmarnock, Scotland. [1]
The bus station was built in 1974 and replaced a bus station in Portland Street. [2]
A project to redevelop the bus station started in November 2019 and was initially expected to be completed by spring 2020. [3] [4] However, the project was delayed after the contractor went bankrupt in March 2020. [5] [6]
Seating at the bus station was removed on 2 June 2020. It was subsequently claimed that this was to reduce the spread of COVID-19. [5] In February 2021, new rests for passengers to lean on were installed, replacing the traditional seating. [7] The new seating faced criticism due to accessibility concerns and in September 2021, council officers stated that it would be replaced. [8]
In September 2022, Stagecoach West Scotland stated that it would no longer serve the bus station after 6pm due to anti-social behaviour. [9]
