Another step forward for Stockport Interchange

Willmott Dixon is about to start demolition of Stockport’s old bus station to make way for a new state-of-the-art transport interchange in the heart of the town centre.The new multi-million pound transport interchange being developed in Stockport is part of a major redevelopment scheme being undertaken by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), Stockport Council, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).One key feature of the new interchange is a new two-acre rooftop park on top of the interchange, maximising the available space and bringing more green space to Stockport for everyone to enjoy. The park is expected to encourage wildlife and biodiversity as well as provide a safe environment for people to meet and relax.In addition to the unique rooftop park, there will be a fully accessible, covered passenger concourse in the interchange with seated waiting areas, cycle storage facilities and 20 bus stands, giving space for future growth in bus services. It will also provide new cycling and walking routes to the train station and town centre. In a small nod to the past, the new interchange will also retain a couple of GMPTE glass panels from the old interchange.As part of the wider development, residential partners CityRise will deliver a landmark residential development comprising of 196 high quality apartments to provide new homes into the heart of the town centre. The scheme is being delivered with support from Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and a grant from Homes England.To find out more about the new interchange and travel information updates, please head to .
