Latest update
Following a partial re-opening last autumn, all bus services returned to the new station on Sunday 21 July.
In addition to a new travel centre and accessible toilet facilities, passengers will now be able to access bus services from all 19 stands.
Alongside improved facilities, safety measures and better access, the new station enables passengers to switch between bus services more easily.
It also has solar panels, cycle parking, a new “green roof” covered in bee-friendly plants and more green space for people to enjoy.
The scheme has been delivered by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority in partnership with Calderdale Council.
A note about ongoing works
- Construction work will continue on the Sunday School Façade until the end of July.
- Following its completion, there is a further six-week period of works to remove the contractor’s temporary cabins and landscape an area next to the Sunday School Façade.
- A 12-month defect period started in March 2024. Minor work will still be taking place to correct known defects, such as hairline cracks in the concourse resin floor, and any other defects that may emerge during this period. This is normal practice for construction projects.
