The very first coaches have left the new £50m Broad Marsh bus station after the site was plagued by delays. Nottingham has been without a bus station in the Broadmarsh area since 2017 and while the overall building was completed many months ago, it has remained out of use.
However at around 1am on Tuesday, June 14 the very first National Express service left its bay. Coaches had been forced to leave from Station Street, near the council's HQ at Loxley House, but they can once again depart from Canal Street.
Four coaches at a time can use the bus station, which is also complemented by a 1,200-space car park which opened last year, as well as a soon-to-open central library. The entire site has been hit with delays and the former Broadmarsh shopping centre remains in a state of redevelopment.
