History[change | change source]

The former bus station

The 1970s Slough bus station was partially demolished in February 2010 so a new bus station could be built.[2][3] Services started using the new bus station on 28 May 2011.[4]

The bus station was largely damaged by a fire on 29 October 2022. It started from a parked bus and spread across the roof of the station. It damaged three other buses that were being stored overnight and forced bus operators to use temporary bus stands nearby.[5] It is still closed as of December 2023.[6]
