The area currently occupied by the bus station was formerly a Total Garage. Services that formerly terminated at Malin Bridge and Forbes Road were diverted into the Interchange, and services that formerly stopped further up the road by Hillsborough Barracks near the old Officer Mess building (now the headquarters for Sheffield Insulations Ltd) were also re-routed to stop at the Interchange.

The tram stop is located to the north of the interchange, and comprises two platforms. The platform which serves trams heading towards Malin Bridge and Middlewood is located in front of The Rawson Spring public house, with the platform serving trams towards Halfway and Meadowhall Interchange being located opposite.
