A decision on the future of Bradford Interchange bus station will be made in September – but, transport bosses say a temporary station will be in place for 2025 whatever the final decision.
And it has been revealed that the closure of the bus station is costing its operators West Yorkshire Combined Authority up to £238,000 a month. On Friday transport bosses at the combined authority gave a press briefing providing updates on the Interchange bus station, which has been shut since early January.
“We then have to weigh up the costs associated with putting them right versus doing something different than just repairing.” He said the station’s current site had “clear locational benefits” adding: “It offers that easy change between rail and bus, and this shouldn’t be overlooked, but there are also developing plans in Bradford.” He said plans for a new rail station for the city centre would mean it may not be essential for any new bus station to remain where it is in the future.
