Bedford’s New Departure Hub Set to Open This Sunday
The new Departure Hub which compliments Bedford's new bus station; a satellite waiting area at the front of the new Bus Station, is due to open on Sunday 14th June.
Providing a safe and sheltered area for passengers using bus services 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10, the new Departure Hub reflects the major regeneration which has taken place in the area. Like the bus station itself, the departure hub will include screens showing the latest bus information and times in a well-lit and comfortable shelter.
Mayor of Bedford Borough, Dave Hodgson, said "The Departure Hub represents a real improvement for users of these services, with more space, more shelter and real-time bus running information. The bus station area regeneration is about much more than just the vastly improved bus station building itself, and the new Departure Hub is another example of a comprehensive approach which has also delivered a refurbished multi-storey car park, new toilets, new paving, new shop fronts and more.
Together, this wide array of improvements has achieved a transformation for the bus station area, and this is an ongoing process."
