Work on Metro's new bus station for Pudsey is underway.
Due to be completed by September 2010,
the new Pudsey Bus Station will provide higher levels of comfort
and security that passengers have come to expect from Metro's
facilities across West Yorkshire. It will be fully accessible, will
include an enclosed waiting area together with real-time electronic
information and CCTV which will be monitored 24 hours a day.
To minimise inconvenience, the
£3m project will be carried out in three stages.

During Stage 1 bus services will not be
affected and buses will continue to depart from the existing bus
station and from existing stops in Church Lane. The short stay car
park in Market Place is closed but alternative parking remains
available behind the Leisure Centre.
Stage 2 of the work starts in the New
Year, at which point the existing bus station stands P1, P2 and P3
will be closed for redevelopment and bus services will use the new
temporary bus stops T1 and T2 in Market Place and T3 in Church
Lane. Bus services will continue to use P4 and P5 in Church Lane as
normal.
During Stage 3 work will be carried
out on the highway and footpaths in Market Place and Church
Lane.
