Middlesbrough Bus Station serves the town of Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire, England. It is located around {{convert|1/4|mi|m|abbr=on}} from the town's railway station.

History

It was opened in 1982, at a cost of £5.3 million, by the actress Pat Phoenix.{{cite news |last=McNeal |first=Ian |date=16 November 2015 |title=Middlesbrough bus station: Take a ride back to the past with our archive pictures |newspaper=Teesside Gazette |url=https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/nostalgia/middlesbrough-bus-station-take-ride-10416474 |accessdate=22 April 2018}} It stands partly on the site of the previous bus station, which belonged to United Automobile Services.{{cn|date=May 2022}}

From mid-July 2012, the bus station was partially closed for around six weeks, to allow for improvement work to take place – at a cost of around £1.5 million. Work was carried out in order to improve accessibility for disabled people, by creating low floor access at the majority of stops. As well as this, work was undertaken to reconstruct the main concourse, and a partial reconstruction of the ramps.{{cite news |date=15 July 2012 |title=Bus station to get £1.5m revamp |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tees-18847929 |access-date=14 March 2020}}{{cite news |last=McKenzie |first=Sandy |date=17 April 2012 |title=Middlesbrough bus station for £1.5m revamp |newspaper=Teesside Gazette |url=http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2012/04/17/middlesbrough-bus-station-for-1-5m-revamp-84229-30776951/ |accessdate=7 July 2012}}

In January 2024, Tees Valley Combined Authority announced a £15 million investment to refurbish the bus station.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
