Oldham Bus Station

When I come to town any time its to this bus station although its always a cold spot it never fails to amaze me
The directions you can take from this central point is good
You can also get some nice views I am not sure how anyone esle feels about the design
I personally think it could have been better , there’s no communications to tell you when to expect the buses even though there’s the time tables and information as to which bus goes where ?
It really depends on your own ideas as to when it is coming and what not your just never sure to go another way or by other means ??
I said before I get some good views here both day and night, so if your keen on the photography its great for that ‚
I have taken many photos my self over the time I ve been visiting, hope you will too,

Oldham Bus Station is the main bus station for Oldham, in the town centre. One of its biggest flaws is that unlike other bus stations, such as Manchester Shudehill and Bury — it does not have a metrolink station.
It does have a very small shop, which for a town centre like Oldham should be much better, even my local town of Middleton has a slightly larger shop.
Oldham Bus Station is quite new, with parts of it being built in both 2001 and 2006, and it is a nicer bus station than Shudehill, and it seems friendlier, brighter (windows throughout) and cleaner but still it doesn’t have the «Welcome to Manchester» feel that Shudehill does, in the case for Oldham.
The view from the bus station, to the right, could be much more improved, the location in the city centre could be better but still they can’t have it in many other places because of the roads layout.
Buses from various locations go from here, including Hyde, however this service is very long and takes one hour and half, buses to Manchester, Middleton, Ashton, Heaton Park, Shaw, Stalybridge, Cheetham Hill, Chadderton Park and Tameside Hospital all go here, which is quite a good range of locations; this could be improved with quicker services to places outside the local area however and adding a wider range of places, other than the buses which near enough go in to many of the other local town centres, like Rochdale, Manchester and Bury.
Due to the lack of a metrolink, and unique, quicker services, I feel I can’t give this bus station a high rating, and with other factors considered, I feel 2 stars is quite fair for this station.

who would review a bus station? me!
when its freezing cold outside and you have this nice cozy sheltered
warm bus station to sit in and only 30 minuets from manchester piccadilly
then grateful is not the word! it also as a little newsagents in side so you
can get something to read and drink.
i wish all bus stations were like this one!
