Haymarket bus station is the main bus station serving the city of Leicester. Originally built in 1994, it lies next to and operates as a transport hub for Haymarket Shopping Centre.
The bus station was developed at a proposed cost of £2m in mid-1994, coinciding with a major refurbishment of the adjacent Haymarket Shopping Centre complex. [1] From January 2015 the bus station was closed for redevelopment to double the size, the new bus station opened during May 2016. [2]
Haymarket bus station is open seven days a week and is used for mostly local services operated by Arriva Midlands, Centrebus, First Leicester and Vectare alongside Stagecoach Midlands service X7 to Northampton. [3]
The anticlockwise circular Hop! service calls at a stop outside on Belgrave Gate.
The main Leicester Shopmobility offices are located within the station at the Belgrave Gate entrance. [4] a smaller office is located within Highcross Leicester.
The bus station also has public toilets which have been recently refurbished alongside changing places accessible facilities. [5] [6]
