Perth bus station is located on Leonard Street in Perth, Scotland. It is owned by Perth and Kinross Council and is situated approximately 800 metres from the city centre, and 100 metres from Perth railway station.[1][2] The station is mostly used for out-of-town routes, while routes in and around Perth originate and terminate on Mill Street.[3][4]
Pomarium Street
The middle section of Pomarium Street, which looped off and back onto Leonard Street, was demolished in the 1950s to make way for the bus station and adjacent flats. Pomarium recalls the site of the orchard of Perth Charterhouse which seems to have survived into the 18th century.[5] Part of Pomarium Street still exists today.[6]
Ticket office
The ticket office, formerly staffed by Scottish Citylink personnel, closed on 28 June 2019. At the time, the company stated this was due to most services now stopping at Broxden Park & Ride rather than the bus station, and that more people are purchasing tickets online.[7]
