Huddersfield Bus Station
Huddersfield bus station is a key transport hub in Kirklees providing connections to our towns and villages and across West Yorkshire.
Responses to the Huddersfield Blueprint public consultation in 2019 revealed people's concerns about the appearance and accessibility of the bus station. Having opened in 1974, some parts of the bus station need modernising to improve its appearance and the facilities for people living, studying, working in and visiting Huddersfield.
The scheme is funded by the Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) , a major new programme of transport infrastructure investment.
We have a vision to create healthy, vibrant town centres where people can live, work and relax.
We are dedicated to revitalising our towns and villages across Kirklees and our transport schemes complement our major regeneration projects including Our Cultural Heart and Huddersfield Blueprint, linking people to more opportunities and supporting economic growth across the district.
