History

The coach station opened in November 1994 with access to 35 destinations. It celebrated its 20th anniversary on 20 November 2014 with passengers at the coach station treated to a glimpse of the National Express Leyland Leopard coach which ran the first coach service from the station in 1994.[1]

In December 2015 it was announced that the coach station would close with the last coach departing on 14 January 2016 with all services relocating to the Liverpool One bus station.[2]

A coach stop still operates from outside the coach station on Norton Street and opposite by Kempston Street, however only for passengers on limited journeys who don't wish to travel to or from Liverpool One.
