We went to Stockport and asked people what they made of the town's major new transport interchange - complete with rooftop park.

00:00 We think it's super. We've been looking forward to it coming and now it's here
00:06 so we thought we'll come and visit it today, have a look around the park.
00:11 Couldn't have picked a nicer day although it's a chilly wind and they've really done us proud
00:15 Stockport so yes hopefully in the future it can only improve can't it really?
00:22 I think it looks really nice and it's like it looks safe and clean and everything seems to be in order
00:31 and there's got the, because like there's never been times really, like or the board times,
00:37 they've only been like timetabled times so this is like more, it's easier for people to know like
00:44 where they're going and stuff and what time the buses are gonna get in so it kind of makes it
00:49 like easier for people and it looks bigger as well than the old one. It looks like there's more space
00:56 in this one so it looks a bit easier for people to access and got lots of windows so it's light
01:02 and yeah it just looks clean it's like the one in Ashton. It's just a lot better and it's more
01:09 functioning. It's easier for people, it's easier for a lot of things.
01:15 I like the new change, yeah I like it very much. It's very useful for everybody, yeah.
01:21 It's definitely different to what Stockport is used to. It's definitely improved massively from what
01:28 I remember it being. I'm not from the local area but I come in and out of Stockport a lot to go and see my family in Tameside.
01:37 It's the cheapest and easiest way to get through Manchester is to stop in Stockport and get the bus
01:43 and it's been a nightmare the last couple of years getting the bus from the other side of Stockport
01:47 so to make it a bit more convenient and having it closer by but having it all undercover as well
01:53 for the colder months and at the top it looks really lovely actually with all the benches and
01:59 I'm presuming they're going to have retail and coffee shops and stuff like that over there
02:04 which seems really lovely so yeah I think it's great.
