History

The previous bus station opened on a site in Paris Street on 5 July 1964, replacing an earlier bus station on Paul Street which became a car park.[1]

Construction of a new bus station on part of the existing site started in January 2019.[2] The construction was funded by Exeter City Council. The development also included a leisure centre called St Sidwell's Point.[3] The project had been intended to start construction in December 2018, but was delayed.[4] Part of the former bus station remained open during construction, but some services had to call on nearby streets instead.[5]

The new bus station opened on 25 July 2021.[6][7]
