The bus hub area adjacent to Carlisle Market Hall and surrounding footways is temporarily closed to buses and pedestrians however, the bus stands opposite the Market Hall will remain open.

Phase one of the project, which includes new paving, lighting columns, and street furniture around the bus hub area, is expected to be completed by November 2026.

The bus hub is expected to reopen before Christmas 2026.

Then the second phase, which is expected to start in January, will focus on improving the bus shelters and installing new roofs, LED lighting, and departure boards which display live travel information.

The Market Hall is still open throughout the period of works.
