Broadmarsh bus station is a bus station serving the city of Nottingham, England.

The station is situated in Nottingham City Centre, underneath a multi-storey car park. It is bordered by Canal Street (A6008 road) and is 250m (820feet) away from Nottingham railway station.

Services

The station has a total of 11 departure bays, with services operated by Kinchbus (service 9 to Loughborough), Trent Barton and National Express.[1] [2] [3]

National Express services moved from their temporary terminus outside Nottingham Railway Station to Bays 10 and 11 at the new bus station on 14 June 2022, and their new facilities within the bus station were opened on the same date.[4] [5]

The new bus station has been allocated a 10-year lease by Nottingham City Council starting in October 2022.[6]

Redevelopment

The previous bus station closed on 9 July 2017 as part of a redevelopment of the area.[7] [8] It was adjacent to the former Broadmarsh Shopping Centre, and had a total of 16 departure bays, including a service by the University of Nottingham Hopper Bus to Sutton Bonington Campus.[9]

A replacement car park and bus station with retail units has been constructed with the new car park opening in November 2021 and is a part of the wider redevelopment of the demolished shopping centre area, including a new central library, named as Southern Gateway.[10] [11] The bus station was intended to open at the same time, but was delayed.[12]
