The Interchange
Since November 2009, extensive work was being carried out on Hartlepool Station. This included the new Interchange, for buses, taxis and trains to be together. The station roof was totally renewed, and new information screens were put in place. The work was finished for the Tall Ships' Races in August 2010 at a cost of £4m and was originally used for park and ride services terminating in the town for the event. Hartlepool Interchange was opened to bus and coach services from 11 August 2010 and built on the site of the old bus station that was demolished in the 1990s for the A179 bridge over the railway line.

Famous quotes containing the word interchange:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
“What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
