The bus station, of eight stands numbered alphabetically, is situated on Beardsall Row, between Arlington Way and Spa Road in the town centre.

The bus station was rebuilt by Nottinghamshire County Council at a cost of £1.5 million to replace the previous collection of bus shelters. It opened on July 30, 2007. It was built as a fully enclosed building, with CCTV coverage and improved pedestrian access to the town centre. The bus station incorporates a solar panelled tower and a stained glass window.

Buses go from the bus station around the town and as far afield as Worksop, Doncaster, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, Newark-on-Trent and Nottingham.
