Hereford Transport Hub听

Levelling Up funding will support the creation of a new transport hub at Hereford Railway Station. The area in front of the Victorian Station will be redesigned as a new bus terminal and public forecourt. It will provide an easy to use and reliable link to all public transport including:听听

  • a cycle storage area and repair station听

The hub will act as a new gateway to the city centre.听
