Stockport Interchange Is Finally Open!

- This is the final video of the series for Stockport interchange as it is now open to the public. There is a series of my videos from the start month by month, watching the progress of this gigantic project.
The new "walkway" between the train and bus station doesn't reduce the distance. If anything it makes it further since you have to go down lifts/the stairs at the station now. Really annoys me how they have marketed it as being "connected" to the station and it is now an "interchange" when it's just the same as before, but prettier - also wheelchair accessible as you mentioned.
I feel they should have cut through the NCP car park and made it more direct.
100% agreed Dalia it should have been taken through the NCP carpark 👍
I think it would be easier to just walk to the main road and down to the bus station instead of that twist and turn route march.
The bus station does look nice and new but the buses will still be just as useless every 10 to 15 minutes if you are lucky. London has the best transport service in the UK with buses every three minutes. All buses have 2 or 3 doors. Enter at the front exit in the middle or rear. All cashless. Oyster card or Debit Card only. Bus lanes everywhere. All buses have auto PAs announcing the stops and free travel for me as an OAP when i visit which is even better.
Hi David
That’s because it’s the capital city and they spend a lot more money on their.
Went down the day the park opened and was very impressed with it all. Having lived here for 25 years now, the redevelopment in this part of Stockport is definitely a good thing, and can't wait to see what else is to come with the regeneration of that whole area. I'd imagine the reason the toilets and ticket office were closed was because it was Easter Sunday - even the big supermarkets are closed on that day! (Edit - just got to the part of the video when you acknowledge why everything's closed! 😂)
Thank you so much for your comments yes I thought it would be a better day to film and the weather was good so I could get my drone out and get the aerial shots. 👍👍
Great video greg, it's got to be better than it was, that walkway was steps as you know, but it was a dump before
It’s a huge improvement Glen 👍👍
The platform over the Mersey makes a great vantage point for dolphin watching
🤣🤣🤣
Great video mate, enjoy ur reviews etc aswell 👌👍
Glad you like them Neil.👍 thanks for watching 👀
We don’t seem to be able to build anything beautiful anymore. All our new buildings look terrible. The Romans should have stayed.
It’s supposed be better looking 👀 I think there are no details in the structure that will still be there in 80 years like the old building of today.
I think it is beautiful.
A really nice and quiet tour of the whole station, the rusts should of painted in green instead. Next time do a food review while sitting down on one of the new chairs. Thanks for showing us, excellent 😀👍
Good idea about the food review on the new seats.👍
Great update, I was looking forward to seeing how it looks after your other videos. Such an improvement 👌 looks so much safer too
Agree Angela it’s a huge improvement to the old one, and so many new apartments going up all around Stockport. It’s on the up in my opinion.👍👍
Superb facility. Stockport is on the up!
My sentiments exactly John 👍
So different to the Stockport i grew up in, very impressive.Do you think it was worth all the expense and effort?
That really depends Steve what are they do put the metrolink in there, but there’s so much going on round Stockport so many apartments houses, Office buildings. So I guess it’s changing with the times and ahead of all the towns cities.👍
no
the bus interchange looks great lets hope any vandalism is kept out but unfortunately i doubt it which will be a shame as it has bought stockport into something that it can be proud of looking forward to my visits to town from buxton
It looks a lot better than the old one. It has security cameras everywhere, so hopefully it will keep the antisocial behaviour for raising its ugly head. 👍
Why does everyone go on about potential vandalism, Stockport has the 2nd lowest crime rate per head of population of the 10 Greater Manchester authorities and has recently been announced by the Times as the best place to live in the NW.
@@Paul-eb4jp really I didn’t know that Paul thanks for the heads up mate 👍
@Stockybloke I used to work closely with AGMA (Association of Greater Manchester Authorities) and Stockport was always 2nd out of 10 usually to Trafford in all the good things such as educational achievement and safety.
Looks fantastic and safe, if you think thats a trek, try walking from Stoke station to the bus station...... and when the tram arrives in Stockport, it will be even easier to use public transport.
Hi Karl
I’m only on about the treck from the train station because they call it an interchange and it’s not because of the distance. 👍
Miss the old Stockport, worked on the market with my dad in the 80s, stall in front of the church opposite the pub.
The good old days Leigh 👍
Not been Stockport for 34 years but still remember walking down from the station 😊
So much has changed in them 34 years buddy.👍
I'm sorry but it's so bland, like it's been designed on a computer. Very disappointing 😢
However Rob you have to admit it’s 100% better than the old one.
Great video Greg love the new bus station better than derby bus station that been build ten years and it is terrible keep up the good work
Thanks Mark
Looks nice and posh be rite once the trees and scrubs have all grown .I so wanted you to press the button to play
Cheers bud👍
Looks a hundred times better clean and modern let’s hope no idiots come along and spoil it
I have already tried Lorraine, police called three times already to deal with antisocial behaviour.😡
to late, this is Stockport after all, Brinny
@@georgeoldham-nb9ny it’s still better than it was George
Another Great Video Greg, it looks amazing the bus interchange
Thanks, Dan looks so much more modern so clean obviously because it’s new it’s just open all the security cameras. Keep the idiots at bay.
Looks miles better , enjoyed the walk round and the video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Ian, thanks for your comment.👍
Great video greg 👍
Thanks Jack
Work
Got it
And Another good 1 stocky 😊
Think I guest another ? 👍
Absolutely must have cost a fortune
Thank you cost about £1 billion🤔🤔
It cost £130 million
Oh my word what a lot of money. But looks very nice
They opened up well Stockport is definitely making more progress than Manchester, except East Manchester home of Manchester city
I’d have to agree with you on that buddy, it’s amazing what they’ve done with the grounds round there when you think what it used to be like.👍
👍
Thanks Julie 👍
They have done a real good job there Stocky till the next one 😊
They have June 👍
Greg, have seen a few reviews now of the new interchange but this is by far the best! Well done mate on showcasing how nice it actually is ❤
Cheers Craig and I had good weather to get my drone out 👍
@@Stockybloke Really good drone footage Greg, although can’t quite believe they don’t have contactless to use the loos! As you say nobody carries cash these days, let alone loose change 👎🏻
@@In_Craigs_Eyes yep crazy no cash on wee 😤😠😡😱
I only want to get a train not go on a hike 😂 need the benches to have a rest before you get to the station 😂 looks nice my friend.
Hi Dave, yeah I’ve been saying that from day one mate how they can call it an interchange on the train station is so far away it’s beyond me. However, it’s 100% better than the old one and it’s has cameras all over the place which is good for the antisocial behaviour idiots.👍
@@Stockybloke all they have to do is keep the lights on pal because the scum like the dark an they don't like wide open spaces
