More than 90 entries have been submitted to the competition, run by the Royal Institute of British Architects, to redesign the listed Preston Bus Station. Lancashire County Council is allocating £13m to the initiative. A short-list will be announced later this summer.
Preston Bus Station was considered the largest bus station in Europe when it opened in 1969. The site, which was under-threat from demolition, was given Grade II listed status in 2013.
