Bristol Bus and Coach Station serves the city of Bristol in the west of England. It is situated on Marlborough Street, near the Broadmead shopping area. The original bus station and onsite depot were opened in 1958 by the Bristol Omnibus Company. It was later redeveloped with the current bus station opening in 2006.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2723089.stm New bus station for Bristol] BBC News 4 February 2003
Before 1958 Bristol had no bus station; most country and long-distance coach services departed from Prince Street, and others used street stops in the Centre, Canon's Road and Old Market.Curtis, C and Walker, M (2007) Bristol Omnibus Services: The Green Years Millstream Books {{ISBN|978-0-948975-80-6}} p.60
