Bolton bus station is a bus station in the town of Bolton, in Greater Manchester. It is run by Transport for Greater Manchester. The bus station is on Moor Lane but will be moved to nearby Newport Street as part as of an expanded Bolton Interchange^[1] in 2018.

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.^[2]

Plans for the bus station, designed by architects Aedas^[3] were submitted to the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton in April 2010 and were approved in June 2010. The plans were amended and a second consultation took place between October and December 2010.^[4] Approval for construction was granted in March 2012, ^[1]^[5] and the bus station will open at the end of the 2015, at a cost of £48 million.
