Site of old bus station, Stevenage - 25 Sep 2022 (P1130364)

Sunday 25 September 2022 (1038) – The former bus station in Town Square/Danestrete in Stevenage closed in late June 2022, the site now being redeveloped as a ‘multi-purpose event space’.

The old bus station was created in October 1958 when Stevenage was being developed as a ‘new town’. Initially it comprised long straight drive through lanes but in later years had become a circular style layout with basic bus shelters set around the perimeter.

This roadway was used by the buses entering the bus station. They departed on the roadway alongside.

A new Bus Interchange opened on Sunday 26 June 2022 built on what had been the Leisure Centre long stay car park. This comprises a covered building with ten bus loading bays waiting area. Interior facilities include a food outlet, toilet facilities and security offices. Much better facilities but a little further away from the town centre shops.
