The new Mansfield Bus Station is here... bigger brighter and £9 million times better
The eye catching new state of the art bus station opened for business on Sunday 31 March 2013 and offers better bus, road and rail links. It is just a three minute walk from both the old bus station and Mansfield market place. See a map showing the location.
The new bus station is part of a package of improvements that Nottinghamshire County Council and Mansfield District Council are delivering to encourage swifter, greener travel in Nottinghamshire.
The County Council, in partnership with Mansfield District Council, will take responsibility for maintaining and managing the bus station.
