Workington bus station

Workington bus station is a bus station in Workington, England. It was opened on 19 March 1926 by Cumberland Motor Services as the first purpose-built covered bus station in Great Britain. In March 2006, a request from the Workington and District Civic Trust to have the building listed was turned down as it was deemed to have had too many modifications. In October 2006, a plaque was added to the exterior of the building to commemorate its history. In 2019, the bus station was redecorated and paintings from local schoolchildren were installed on its interior walls.

Centenary Refurbishment

In August 2024, Cumberland Council announced it had received £2.1 million in funding for refurbishing parts of Workington Town Centre, including approaches to the bus station.
Following this announcement, in July 2025, Workington Bus Station closed for six weeks of major refurbishment works, a deep clean and repainting. Costing Stagecoach around £100,000, the internal layout was changed to have all stands on one side of the bus station, reducing the need to cross the station. On reopening in September, work was still ongoing to reinstate two bus stands on the South side of the station.
