NORWICH BUS STATION
The new Norwich Bus Station
opened in August.
The 4.2 million pound bus
station featuring two giant canopies providing over 2000 square metres
of shelter for passengers, was provided by the County Council. It
includes a travel centre which will be open seven days a week and is operated
by County Council staff for travel advice and the sale of tickets. There
are ticket vending machines for local and national bus services as well
as toilets, a waiting area and catering facilities.
The new 12 bay bus station
will be a dramatic improvement on the old site. Each bus bay enjoys
individual waiting shelters that incorporate seating, closed circuit TV,
public address and automatic timetable displays.
The new facility will allow
buses to enter and leave Surrey Street and Queens Road, cutting journey
times and reducing congestion on St Stephens Street. Norfolk County
Council firmly believes this new facility will allow us to continue to
improve public transport in and around Norwich.
A copy of the bus station
stand plan is on display on your parish notice board and we will be send
appropriate timetables shortly. Thank you for your patience during the
build, but I am sure you will agree the wait has been worthwhile.
