History

It was opened in 1982, at a cost of £5.3 million, by the actress Pat Phoenix. [1] It stands partly on the site of the previous bus station, which belonged to United Automobile Services.[ citation needed ]

From mid-July 2012, the bus station was partially closed for around six weeks, to allow for improvement work to take place – at a cost of around £1.5 million. Work was carried out in order to improve accessibility for disabled people, by creating low floor access at the majority of stops. As well as this, work was undertaken to reconstruct the main concourse, and a partial reconstruction of the ramps. [2] [3]

In January 2024, Tees Valley Combined Authority announced a £15 million investment to refurbish the bus station.[ citation needed ]

Accidents and incidents

On 2 February 2015, an Arriva North East vehicle, which was operating service 28, collided with the one of the bus station's south stands. There were no injuries, but significant damage was sustained to the bus station building, included damage to the roof and windows.[ citation needed ]

On 23 December 2021, an Arriva North East vehicle, which was out of service at the time, was shunted into the bus station's north stands by a Go North East coach. As above, there were no injuries, but damage was sustained to the bus station building, as well as damage to the railings, roof and windows.[ citation needed ]
