Herefordshire Council has said work is continuing on the £10 million Hereford Transport Hub after the project missed its October opening date.
Building work still appears to be ongoing outside Hereford railway station, with workers still on site and no revised opening date yet announced.
The scheme, a key part of the wider Improving Transport in Hereford programme, is designed to bring together rail, bus, cycling and walking facilities in a single transport interchange.

Questions have been raised in recent weeks after October passed without the hub opening as previously expected.
Responding to concerns over delayed projects, the council said it recognised some schemes had taken longer than originally anticipated.
"We recognise that some projects have taken longer than originally anticipated and understand the frustration this can cause," a spokesperson said.
The authority said complex infrastructure projects often faced engineering, technical and logistical challenges and had also been affected by rising construction costs and wider economic pressures.

Despite the delay, the council said work continued on the transport hub, describing it as part of an ambitious programme of investment across the county.
When completed, the facility will include new bus infrastructure, an enclosed waiting area, covered cycle parking, public spaces and a café.
The council said its focus remained on "delivering improvements that provide lasting value for Herefordshire's residents, communities and businesses".
It comes after senior bus company figures voiced safety concerns about the design of the hub, with buses having to reverse out from stands.
