The next phase of the renovation of is expected to cause a certain level of disruption to normal public transport services, so the teams behind the upgrade are attempting to arm the public with the knowledge they need to allow them to complete their usual journeys with minimal fuss.
Posters and leaflets have been produced using full colour printing, and Altrincham residents also have the option of visiting the Transport for Greater Manchester website or calling the organisation for more information.
The bus and rail director for Transport for Greater Manchester, Michael Renshaw, spoke about the next phase of renovations, saying:
"This is a key part of the project to completely transform the existing bus station into a brand new building – providing a fantastic facility for passengers.
“We fully appreciate that closing the bus station is going to affect people’s travel and that is why we’ve rolled out detailed information at stops, at the interchange and on our website, to explain what’s changing and how."
The changes to the interchange are costing £19 million and will deliver a completely new station building. Matthew Colledge, Trafford Council's leader, spoke about the upgrade, saying:
"It’s great that work is stepping up to the next phase, moving us closer to a brand new, attractive, light and safe interchange.”
Work is ongoing and a completion date still to be confirmed.
