Exeter bus station is a bus station in the English city of Exeter. It opened in 1964, and was expanded in 2021.
History
A bus station opened on a site in Paris Street on 5 July 1964, replacing an earlier bus station on Paul Street which became a car park.[1]
Construction of a new bus station on part of the existing site started in January 2019.[2] The construction was funded by the council. The development also included a leisure centre called St Sidwell's Point.[3] The project had been intended to start construction in December 2018, but was delayed.[4] Part of the former bus station remained open during construction, but some services had to call on nearby streets instead.[5]
The bus station has a fully enclosed indoor waiting area with 12 stands. Each stand has automatic doors, seats and a display showing real time information accompanied by audio announcements.[8] Other facilities include cycle racks, disabled car parking spaces and public toilets.
Archaeology
In 2019, during redevelopment of the bus station, remains of a Roman fort were discovered.[9]
