The bus station was situated in Nottingham City Centre adjacent to the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre, underneath its multi-storey car park. It was bordered by Canal Street (A6008 road) and could be accessed from the shopping centre. The station was 250 metres (270 yd) away from Nottingham railway and tram stations.
Broadmarsh had a total of 16 bays, Trent Barton were the main provider of bus services from the bus station with other services provided by Centrebus, Kinchbus and University of Nottingham Hopper Bus services. Services from Broadmarsh operated mainly to villages or towns such as Bingham, Loughborough, Long Eaton and Oakham, the CentreLink bus service also operates from Broadmarsh to Queen's Drive and the nearby Victoria Bus Station and Victoria Centre.
National Express services also operated to/from Broadmarsh. Nottingham City Transport services that serve the Broadmarsh shopping centre go from bus stands located on Collin Street.
It closed on 9 July 2017 as part of a redevelopment of the area.[1][2]
Replacement
A replacement car park and bus station with retail units has been constructed serving the same area, as part of the wider redevelopment of the demolished shopping centre area, including a new central library, named as Southern Gateway.[3][4]
The new car park was opened in November 2021. The new bus station has been allocated a 10-year lease by Nottingham City Council, with opening expected during 2022.[5]
