Otley bus station serves the town of Otley, West Yorkshire, England.
The bus station consists of five stands in total. Stands 1 to 4 are in the bus station, whereas stand 5 is on Crossgate just next to the Bus Station.[1] Unlike most of the bus stations in West Yorkshire, Otley Bus Station is privately owned[2] by the Miller Group who own the Orchard Gate centre. As Otley currently does not have a railway station there is a regular connection from the town to Menston railway station 2 miles (3 km) away.[3] This links the town with the Wharfedale Line to Leeds and Bradford.[4]
