Bradford Interchange plaza completed
Work to transform the previous taxi rank area at Bradford Interchange into a new pedestrian plaza was completed earlier this week.
The space has new paving, seating and planters that help to create a more welcoming environment when using the station

Reminder: Bradford Interchange Bus Station
Bradford Interchange bus station reopened to the public in January 2025, and bus services are operating from the upper concourse.
Due to ongoing resurfacing works, around six bus stands will stay out of action until at least April 2025. Therefore, some bus services will remain on-street until that time.
The quickest route from Bradford Interchange to Nelson Street, where the temporary on-street bus stops are located, is via the back entrance of the bus station.
