Middlesbrough Bus Station serves the town of Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire. It is located a short walk, around 1⁄4 mi (400 m), from the town's railway station, sited on Zetland Road.
The bus station is situated on Newport Road, in the town centre of Middlesbrough. It was opened in 1982, at a cost of £5.3 million, by the actress Pat Phoenix.[1] It stands partly on the site of the previous bus station, which belonged to United Automobile Services.
There are 21 stands in total, with additional stands located on the upper floor, for long-distance coach services. In terms of local bus services, Arriva North East and Stagecoach North East operate most routes in and around the town.[2][3]
Stagecoach North East routes 36, 37 and 38 combine to provide up to 8 buses per hour between Middlesbrough and Stockton, with services continuing to Hartlepool, North Tees Hospital and Norton. The company also operates a regular service to Coulby Newham, James Cook University Hospital, Hemlington and Park End.
Arriva North East operate services from the town to County Durham, Darlington, North Yorkshire and the Tees Valley. The company also operates the X93 service, which runs from Middlesbrough to Guisborough, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough.
Go North East operate the X9 and X10 express service from Middlesbrough to Newcastle upon Tyne, using a fleet of high-specification double-deck Wright StreetDeck vehicles, branded in a dark blue livery.[4]
Refurbishment[]
From mid-July 2012, the bus station was partially closed for around six weeks, to allow for improvement work to take place – at a cost of around £1.5 million. Work was carried out in order to improve accessibility for disabled people, by creating low floor access at the majority of stops. As well as this, work was undertaken to reconstruct the main concourse, and a partial reconstruction of the ramps.[5][6]
