Durham Bus Station serves the city of Durham, in County Durham, England. The bus station is managed by Durham County Council.
The station is situated on North Road, in the city centre. It was closed from February 2021, and was re-built between then & late 2023, before re-opening in January 2024.
Redevelopment
In September 2020, plans to redevelop the bus station were approved. From 15 February 2021, all services were relocated to adjacent streets (North Road & Milburngate) in order to allow the bus station to be demolished. The new bus station was expected to open in late summer 2022. In July 2022, it was announced that the project had been delayed to summer 2023. In August 2023, it was announced that 'significant progress' had been made on the station; with work on drainage, the exterior, & green facilities still being undertaken. It was announced that the bus station was now expected to open in November. Final works & testing were completed towards the end of the year, and the bus station finally opened on the 7th of January 2024.
Services
Before redevelopment, Arriva North East, Go North East & National Express services ran from this bus station. Local buses ran around the city of Durham & surrounding suburbs.
After re-opening in January 2024, local bus services re-commenced operation from the station. The road & pavement where temporary bus stops were installed on North Road are to be re-instated during Spring 2024.
