Bargoed bus station to get official opening

News | Richard Gurner | Published: 09:00, Monday June 6th, 2011.

A fleet of vintage buses will descend on Bargoed to help mark the official opening of the town’s new bus station.

The new station will be unveiled on Saturday June 11 at 11am.

Cllr Rob Gough, cabinet member for public protection, engineering and transport, said: “This fantastic facility will benefit both local residents and visitors to the town alike.

“With its close proximity to Bargoed’s railway station, this will help improve transport links to and from the town, and together with the other regeneration works currently underway, will really help position Bargoed as a shopping and business destination fit for the 21st Century.”

The stations’ opening will coincide with this year’s Bargoed Carnival and a free shuttle bus service will operate between the new bus station and the Bargoed Carnival site between 11.45am and 5pm.

The bus interchange will become operational to the public and bus operators from Monday June 13.

Services 1, 2 and 3, along with Service 50 will serve the new bus station, while Services C9, C17, 14 and 27 will continue to terminate at Hanbury Square in the short-term.

The project has been funded through the EU’s Convergence European Regional Development Fund, and through the Welsh Government’s Targeted Match Funding, Transport Grant and Heads of the Valleys Programme.
