Chorley Interchange is a bus station located in the town of Chorley, Lancashire, England. The current station is adjacent to the Chorley railway station, which replaced the demolished structure in 2003.[2] It is owned by Lancashire County Council and operated by Stagecoach in Chorley.[3][4]

The Interchange was opened in February 2003, at a cost of £3 million. This facility features an enclosed passenger waiting area, travel and tourist information, a coffee shop, and a taxi rank.[1][5] Of note, the interchange no longer has an electronic destination display for either bus and rail services.
