Bolton's Transport Interchange

Bolton's new bus and train station concept animation

[@nasirmahmood6529]

Very very good I like it.

[@ashleyhill2130]

Personally I will miss the ambiance of the old bus station. The piles of litter, the discarded needles, the fear of being anywhere near it after dark. Maybe they they can make the new one smell of stale piss to bring back the memories.

Thinks it's great. Looks amazing now built

[@gemh4030]

It looks fuck all like this

[@geoffrennox1840]

the career beggars, drunks and druggies are going to love that skylink overbridge between the bus and rail stations

Hopefully this will help start re development in the centre of Bolton and YES it will go ahead as work has started.

[@ashleykirkman5247]

The fancy Grade A office block they're building adjoining the new interchange will hopefully create a few new jobs. It's in a prime location anyway and with any sense will be snapped up by investors. The completion of the new cinema and vaults complex in the market place will also hopefully increase the number of visitors coming into the town centre. The new interchange is essential really as it is important to have a welcoming arrival point that draws visitors in when they arrive on public transport. The new station certainly holds that edge over Moor Lane, which has duly served its purpose well but we need more modern facilities. Plus the close proximity to the train station will work wonders for people who access different types of public transport. It's better to have it all in one hub than to have walk the length of town to connect with a train.

Why do they need another bus station? There are two already and they are apparently losing more services, 273, 535, 537, going!

[@charlotteclarke4665]

+Charlotte Clarke I also noticed the buses in this are Wright Solar but there's only Wright Eclipses in Bolton, there have never been Wright Solars in Bolton

[@FM60260]

There is the possibility of a Wright Solar in Bolton again as Rosso own several that could appear on the 480. I did see one of the later K230's on there today, although most of the time it is run by Darts.

@@essamohmed7258 I never said there was anything wrong with Bolton. I know why there is a new bus station now, it is one interchange with the train station and replaced Moor lane. I thought it was an extra one that was going to be the same size as the little one that used to be in front of the train station (I don't know if that little one is still there or not since I have not been for two years). I might drive over some time this week to see what has changed.

@@charlotteclarke4665 both of the previous bus stations are gone now and only the interchange exists.

[@charlotteclarke4665]

@@essamohmed7258 It is weird the one at the station has been demolished, it was not that old having been rebuild in the mid 2000's and they were using it for rail replacement last time I saw it.

[@badvock71]

A wonderful idea, sadly since the council have let the town centre go to rack and ruin the place now looks like a shithole. A new wonder transport hub so people can come visit the plethora of charity and pound shops that make up Bolton's shopping precinct.

[@stephenduncan3605]

badvock71 it will be good for catching the bus to Bury, a proper town centre

[@essamohmed7258]

@@stephenduncan3605 yeah,way better.

[@ANDREWB7360]

48 milion popunds the lights dont come on when its dark freezing cold and the roof leaks.

[@essamohmed7258]

The air conditioning makes it cold,and I always see the bus station with some panel windows lit up and some aren’t...

[@mrbigm5720]

Building this, which is finished. Bolton Town centre is slowly closing down loosing shops pubs even the people. You very rarely see it packed out and when you do it's for a special occasion, The football team doesn't help stadiums outside Bolton, biggest mistake moving burden Park, when I was a kid when Bolton was playing at home you could hear the fans miles away from the stadium packed out, now I see more fans at Sunday league. Shame on you B. W. F. C

The Bolton residents are just being difficult,it’s not that Bolton is rubbish after all...
