Haymarket bus station is a bus station serving the city of Leicester. Built in 1994, it lies next to and serves as a transport hub for Haymarket Shopping Centre.

History

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] In January 2015 the existing bus station was closed to allow contractors to start work on building the new bus station, this meant that buses using the current bus station were relocated to stops elsewhere in the city centre.[2]

Facilities

The bus station is located next to the Haymarket Shopping Centre and includes public toilets. All stops have seating.
