The New Heckmondwike Bus Station has officially opened, marking a major milestone for local transport. It is the first hub to open as part of the Weaver Network. Community members gathered to celebrate the opening and see the new facility for the first time.
We’re proud to have played our part in delivering this important project. Working on behalf of Kirklees Council and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, the team has created a modern transport hub that will benefit the town and surrounding area for years to come.
Improved Facilities for Passengers
The New Heckmondwike Bus Station offers a range of enhanced passenger facilities. These include covered waiting areas, dedicated bus bays, cycle parking, accessible amenities and real-time digital travel information.
The station provides a welcoming environment for passengers and supports more sustainable travel choices. Its modern design improves both comfort and accessibility for everyone using the facility.
Supporting Better Connections
The official opening highlighted the positive impact the station will have on residents, visitors and businesses. Better transport links will make local journeys easier and improve access to services across the region.
As the first transport hub delivered as part of the Weaver Network, the project represents an important step in West Yorkshire’s wider transport improvement programme. It will help strengthen connections between communities while encouraging greater use of public transport.
A Lasting Investment for Heckmondwike
The project also showcases high-quality architecture and public realm improvements. Together, these features create an attractive gateway into Heckmondwike and enhance the local environment.
The development supports future transport growth in the area. It also demonstrates a continued commitment to investing in infrastructure that benefits local communities.
The New Heckmondwike Bus Station is expected to serve residents for many years. It provides modern facilities, improved accessibility and a better travel experience for passengers throughout the region.
