Cwmbran Bus Station
Cwmbran bus station ( cy, Gorsaf bws Cwmbrân) is a bus terminus and interchange located in the town centre of Cwmbran, South Wales. Background The station was commissioned along with the wider development of the town of Cwmbran in August 1949, following the end of the Second World War. The UK embarked on a series of new towns in order to meet high demand for housing and employment, particularly in war ravaged communities. Under the New Towns Act 1946, Cwmbran became the first New Town in Wales. A body, Cwmbran Development Corporation, was created to oversee work. A 55-acre town centre was designed, and the bus station was the key interchange for both the retail and residential area. Layout The bus station diverts from the circular Glyndwr Road around the town, just after the roundabout on St David's Road. The station has eight bus stands, identified with letters A-H. It is surrounded by the retail centre, Cwmbran Centre, and opposite is the newer ''Leisure @ Cwmbran'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bus Station
A bus station or a bus interchange is a structure where city or intercity buses stop to pick up and drop off passengers. While the term bus depot can also be used to refer to a bus station, it generally refers to a bus garage. A bus station is larger than a bus stop, which is usually simply a place on the roadside, where buses can stop. It may be intended as a terminal station for a number of routes, or as a transfer station where the routes continue. Bus station platforms may be assigned to fixed bus lines, or variable in combination with a dynamic passenger information system. The latter requires fewer platforms, but does not supply the passenger the comfort of knowing the platform well in advance and waiting there. Accessible station An accessible station is a public transportation passenger station which provides ready access, is usable and does not have physical barriers that prohibit and/or restrict access by people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs. ...

Blackwood Interchange
Blackwood Interchange ( cy, Cyfnewidfa Coed Duon) is a bus station located in the town centre of Blackwood, Caerphilly, South Wales. It is situated on Gordon Road adjacent to the High Street. Background The existing Blackwood Bus Station redeveloped by Caerphilly County Borough Council in 2007. The project cost an approximate £2.4 million. During development, traders in the town centre voiced concerns that "customers will be put off walking through the market when contractors move in" however Councillors reassured concerned individuals with the prospect of a reduction in the business rate for affected businesses.
