Cleveleys bus station is a bus station located on Rough Lea Road in Cleveleys, Lancashire, England.[1] Built in 1932, and serving several local towns, the station has four stands.[2]
History
[edit]The station was built by Thornton Cleveleys Urban District in 1932, and was used by Ribble Motor Services buses initially. Blackpool Corporation buses began serving it in 1940.
In 2024, a mural was unveiled inside the station, with a Star Wars theme, after nearby Cleveleys beach was used as a location for the American television series Andor. Christian Fenn was the artist.[3]
The station was refurbished in 2012.
Services
[edit]Blackpool Transport's Blackpool-bound routes 7[4] and 7A[5] and Transpora's routes 24 (Fleetwood and Blackpool via Poulton-le-Fylde),[6] 568 and 660 serve the bus station.
Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire's route 84 passes along Rough Lea Road, in front of the station, but does not stop there.
