Wrexham bus station

Wrexham bus station (Welsh: Gorsaf fysiau Wrecsam) is an eight-stand indoor bus station in Wrexham city centre on King Street. Services provide transit within the city, elsewhere in north Wales, and to Cheshire and Shropshire in England.

The station sees over 180,000 departures per year, which the council says makes the station one of the "busiest in Wales".

The facility forms part of the roadmap for the Welsh Government's North Wales Metro in the city and the region.

A new complex was opened in two halves in December 2003, on the site of the original bus station which was originally built in the late 1960s with the adjacent office buildings.

The original station had much graffiti on its aging steel bus stands, and main brick building, which housed a small newsagents.

While the original bus station was redeveloped, use was made of the wide pavement area of King Street as temporary locations for the bus stands. The new bus station features a number of small shops, varying from newsagents to a Fat Cat Cafe Bar.

Most services are operated by Arriva Buses Wales, which operates the longest routes using Wright Commander buses, however GHA Coaches at one time operated several services before their collapse (see Controversies below). A number of smaller firms also operate from the bus station.

In 2013 the station benefitted from a £1.4m improvement project, which saw the installation of wider pavements, shop fronts, walls and other infrastructure. The scheme was backed by the European Regional Development Fund.
