Future

In January 2010, Transport for Greater Manchester (then the GMPTE) started a public consultation about the development of a bus station on Newport Street, replacing the bus station on Moor Lane and the small bus interchange at the railway station.[1]

Plans for the bus station, designed by architects Aedas[2] were submitted to Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council in April 2010 and were approved in June 2010. The plans were amended and a second consultation took place between October and December 2010.[3] Approval for construction was granted in March 2012.[4][5] The new station opened on 3 September 2017.[6][7]
