History
[edit]Wellington Street bus station was opened on 2 March 1973 as Perth Central bus station by Premier John Tonkin.[1][2] It was renamed Wellington Street bus station in 1989 to distinguish it from Esplanade Busport.[3]
After just over 40 years of service, the majority of bus services were moved to the temporary Roe Street bus station on 12 January 2014.[4][5] Wellington Street bus station remained in use for a further two weeks due to roadworks in the central business district, temporarily servicing Beaufort Street bus services, before finally closing on 27 January 2014 and being demolished soon after.[6][7] The station was replaced by the new underground Perth Busport on the same site. To cater for the remaining bus services during the construction period, a temporary replacement Wellington Street bus station opened on 6 July 2014, occupying some of the original site.[8][9] This closed on 1 February 2015.[10][11][12]
It had 17 stands and was served by 34 Transperth routes operated by Path Transit, Swan Transit and Transdev WA.[13]
