The new Bolton Interchange
A fantastic new transport interchange is being delivered by Transport for Greater Manchester in partnership with Bolton Council. The £48 million scheme is being funded by the Greater Manchester Transport Fund and will support the Bolton Town Centre Transport Strategy and the wider regeneration plans in the area.
The new interchange will be built on land bounded by Newport Street and Great Moor Street and replace the existing Moor Lane station and provide vastly improved waiting areas, passenger facilities, information, safety and security. The interchange will directly connect bus and rail services via a pedestrian footbridge improving the links between bus and train as well as access to the town centre.
The new interchange will offer enhanced accessibility with a modern concourse and passenger facilities including a retail outlet, cycle hub, shopmobility and modern public toilets including a baby change facility. It will also make use of innovative sustainable energy initiatives, including rainwater recycling to flush the toilets, solar panels, air source heat pumps and low-energy LED lighting.
