Bradford Interchange reopening

From Sunday 5th January 2025, Bradford Interchange will reopen to bus services following the completion of improvement works and site assessments.

Whether you’re commuting to work, catching up with friends, or planning a day out, the reopening of the Interchange will make travelling across the city smoother and faster.


Getting around from 5th January:

With the bus station at the interchange reopening, many bus services will move to this central hub, making it more convenient to travel. While ongoing resurfacing works mean six bus stands will be unavailable temporarily, only a small number of services will continue to operate from on-street stops until further notice.

Buses that currently serve Vicar Lane will continue to stop there as part of their route to ensure access to the Broadway shopping centre. No other city centre bus stops should be affected.
