Network Rail, Northern and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) are working together to deliver major upgrades in and around Bolton railway station.
Work is well underway on a new transport interchange, adjacent to the station, that will replace the current bus station on Moor Lane and, once complete, will provide public transport users with a seamless link between bus and rail services via a fully enclosed Skylink bridge.
When complete, in mid-2017, the interchange – a £48m (€57m) scheme in conjunction with Bolton Council – will provide a modern, high quality facility for bus passengers, enhanced connectivity between bus and rail services, as well as creating an attractive gateway to the town centre.
The railway line between Manchester and Preston is being upgraded to allow more frequent train services to run which will mean better journeys for customers in Bolton. The station itself is being improved and will be directly linked to Bolton’s bus network, creating an interchange for bus, train and cyclists – making it easier to leave the car at home and travel door to door on public transport.
