History
Hyde bus station opened many years ago, and had lots of services to nearby areas of Greater Manchester, just like it does now. However, many reports of the old bus station will say the shelters were very draughty.
In 2005 the new bus station was built by Sisk building contractors for £3.7 million, and is now entirely different, with an indoor structure with a Travelshop and cafe, seated waiting areas and computer screens displaying departures.
Hyde’s new bus station has utilized a modern metal service module. The service module was manufactured from polyester powder coated steel, incorporating aerofoil profiled wings and a removable central panel for full access to the services. The continuous module carries mechanical and electrical services throughout the building including lighting, CCTV, signage, sprinklers and smoke detectors.
