Improving bus and taxi facilities
We are improving the current bus and taxi facilities at Muir Street with City Deal funding.
Bus stop
The bus stop on Muir Street has been relocated temporarily to beyond the roundabout at Hope Street, next to the footbridge over the railway line. This is to allow a larger bus stop to be built.
The larger bus stop will be completed and reopened in Spring 2023. The bus shelter has also been refurbished and reinstalled.
Taxi rank
The taxi rank on Muir Street has been temporarily closed. There is an alternative taxi rank at High Road.
A new taxi rank is being built on a new access road to Motherwell Rail Station, from the roundabout at Hamilton Road/West Hamilton Street. The new access road will join Muir Street at the station forecourt and will also have drop-off/pick up area and disabled parking bays to the front of the station.
By working with ScotRail as they upgrade Motherwell Rail Station, we will ensure the projects complement each other and make the most of the available funding.
The work we are doing on Muir Street started on 10 January 2022 and is expected to finish in Spring 2023. The new taxi rank and access road will open then.
The final proposals for Muir Street have been developed thanks to the feedback you provided during the consultation in June 2018.
