WYCA submit planning for new £60m zero-emission bus depot in Wakefield

Janus Architecture is proud to share our design for the new £60m zero-emission bus depot to be located in Wakefield.

West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) has applied to locate the facility at Wakefield Council’s former transport depot at Newton Bar. The proposed development includes parking and charging areas for up to 125 buses and a two-storey main building providing office space and a maintenance workshop. A separate building for bus cleaning is also planned, along with staff car parking, secure cycle parking and landscaping.

The purpose-built facility forms part of the Weaver Network, which aims to create a leading transport system for West Yorkshire. Making buses more sustainable, reliable, and accessible.
