Blackpool bus station (known colloquially as Talbot Road bus station) was a bus station located on Talbot Road in Blackpool, Lancashire, England.[1] The building, which is bounded by Talbot Road to the north, Cookson Street (the A586) to the east, Deansgate to the south and Topping Street to the west, is now a gym.
Built in 1939, as the ground floor of a multi-story car park on land known as Talbot Mews,[2] the bus station was taken out of use in 2002. It was preceded by an open-air motor-coach station.[3]
In 2019, the town completed the Blackpool Bus Hub, on Market Street and Corporation Street,[4] from which run Blackpool Transport's routes 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, 6, 7, 7A, 11, 11A, 11B and 14,[5] and Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire's routes 61 and 68.
