CRADLEY Heath’s new £1.9 million bus and rail interchange is to open this weekend.

From Sunday (July 26) passengers will benefit from a new waiting area with toilet facilities, seating, CCTV, and improved access to train services.

Within the main building there will be four connected bus stands, each with a passenger information totem to show when buses are due and automatic doors that open only when the bus has arrived.

A new design means there will be an additional two stands on a newly constructed island, replacing the previous stop on Forge Lane.
