Chatham Waterfront bus station
Chatham Waterfront bus station serves the area of Medway, South East England. The bus station opened in October 2011, replacing the town's previous Pentagon bus station which was built in the 1970s and was considered an unwelcoming environment for passengers.
The bus station is part of the town's regeneration scheme. Medway Council demolished the John Hawkins flyover in Chatham town centre to make room for the bus station.
The main operators at the bus station are Arriva Medway Towns and Nu-Venture.
The bus station has 19 stands on four platforms. Bus services run from the bus station around the Medway area and to parts of Kent. The bus station has a travel centre and public toilets.
The bus station has been criticised for its open design and waterfront location as compared to the previous enclosed Pentagon bus station.Incidents
