Wrexham bus station is an 8-stand indoor bus station situated on King Street in the centre of Wrexham, in north-east Wales. 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 also operate several services, due to continuing recent expansion. A number of smaller firms also operate from the bus station.
There is a £1.4 Million pound redevelopment due in 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words bus station, bus and/or station:
“In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
