Public consultation into Rotherham bus station improvements
Passengers are being invited to give their views on plans to improve Rotherham bus station.
Essential repairs have already been carried out following damage caused by a vehicle fire a year ago but proposals for other general improvements are now up for consultation.
South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) is now inviting customer comments on proposed improvements as part of the wider refurbishment work at drop-in sessions at Rotherham Interchange on:
Monday 22 May - 9am - 12pm
Tuesday 23 May - 11am - 2pm
Wednesday 24 May - 11am - 5pm
Thursday 25 May - 3pm - 6pm
Friday 26 May - 11am - 4pm
The improvement plans could see changes made to the walls, ceiling, floor tiles, seating and information services, to improve customer experience.
Despite the extent of damage, the interchange was re-opened within one week of the fire.
To date, hundreds of metres of electrical cables that were destroyed have been removed and replaced with new cabling and cable trays in order to feed power to the Interchange.
The LED lighting to stands A1 to A4 and B1 to B5 has been reinstated and the temporary festoon lighting removed from these areas. Down lighters by the Customer Service desk and near the crossing to the Mall will be installed shortly.
The two passenger lifts and all of the automatic doors are now fully operational.
Scaffolding remains erected around Stand A6, supporting the damaged part of the interchange structure.
Members of the public will be kept informed as work progresses.
