Exeter Bus Station
Exeter Bus Station is a bus station in the English city of Exeter. The original station opened in 1964 and was replaced by the new station in 2021 on the same site. HistoryThe 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 Exeter City 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.[4] Part of the former bus station remained open during construction, but some services had to call on nearby streets instead.[5] The new bus station opened on 25 July 2021.[6][7] FacilitiesThe bus station has a fully enclosed indoor waiting area with 12 stands. Each stand has automatic doors, seats and a display showing real time information accompanied by audio announcements.[8] Other facilities include cycle racks, disabled car parking spaces and public toilets.
