Navigating Norwich Bus Station
Norwich Bus Station is located in the south east of central Norwich. It’s a location where a large number of buses and coaches stop and pick up passengers. You can get to it via Queens Road or Surrey Street. The site was on a bit of a hill with Surrey Street being lower down than Queens Road. It’s just worth noting that certain parts of the walkways do have a lot of incline and I struggled to push myself up some sections.
There are approximately 14 bus stops in total although some didn’t appear to be actively used. All the stops had information displays saying which bus or coach would be arriving at that stop next and when. Within each bus stop there was a small amount of covered seating.
The main part of the station has a covered waiting area. Inside there was an information desk, with a lowered counter, a small cafe, toilets, and a selection of seating. The seating varied between banks of seats in the main section and some higher bar height seating around the edge of the area. The doors of this area were propped open when I visited as it was warm and sunny. In colder weather it seems that the doors would be operated by buttons located inside and out.
There was an accessible toilet here which was slightly small but was still really helpful.
While it didn’t feel too busy while I was there, it was slightly cramped in the main part of the station. If you were travelling with luggage and mobility equipment it might be hard to navigate between the seating sections.
