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.[1][2] 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.[3] In 2019, the bus station was redecorated and paintings from local schoolchildren were installed on its interior walls.[4]
Entrance to the bus station from Murray Road
