To celebrate, Metro Chairman Cllr Ryk Downes, and Calderdale District Spokesman Cllr Keith Watson handed out pieces of birthday cake to passengers.

Brighouse Bus Station was officially opened on Thursday 21 May 2009 and was dedicated to former Calderdale District Spokesman Councillor Geoffrey Wainwright, who died earlier that year.

"Brighouse Bus Station has been a great success" said Metro Chairman Cllr Ryk Downes, "And following feedback from passengers additional seating, a further four timetable information displays and new Braille and priority waiting signs will be installed next month."

Metro's Calderdale District Spokesman Cllr Keith Watson said, "Brighouse bus station is a wholesale improvement on the previous facility and I am delighted that Metro has been able to provide local passengers with the high quality facilities that people across West Yorkshire have come to expect from Metro's bus stations."

In line with Metro's modern, award-winning bus stations across West Yorkshire, the £2.38m station has comfortable and safer enclosed waiting areas, seating and lighting, real-time electronic passenger information, 24-hour CCTV surveillance, and footpaths and pedestrian crossings leading to the town centre.

Continuing the celebratory theme, Brighouse Rail Station was 10 years old on Friday 28 May. Cllr Downes was on hand to help staff mark the event with early-morning passengers, and unveil a birthday poster by Simran Mattu from Woodhouse Primary School.
