Bury Interchange is a transport hub opened in 1980, it is the northern terminus of the Manchester Metrolink’s Bury Line, which prior to 1992 was a heavy-rail line.
It also incorporates a bus station.
Bury Interchange replaced the bus termini scattered around Bury town centre, notably around Kay Gardens.

Bury Interchange was opened by British Rail in March 1980, integrating a new bus station with the northern terminus of the Bury-to-Manchester heavy railway line, a new short spur line was constructed to connect the new station.
Bury Bolton Street – Ben Brooksbank
The railway had originally run into Bury Bolton Street which was further away from the town centre, and was closed by British Rail on the same day that Bury Interchange opened.
An £80m transformation is coming to the Bury Interchange, which will see step-free access at the Metrolink, a “vertical circulation core” to better connect the Metrolink with the bus facility, and an integrated travel hub with spaces for cycle storage.
The work is much-needed, explained Transport for Greater Manchester’s Alan Lowe, he said that the interchange was built in the 1980s and very much is of its time.
It’s not what we need for our customers need.
The new Bury Interchange project is expected to complete at the end of the decade.
However as of February 2024 – it look like this.
Bury Bolton Street is now operated by the East Lancs Railway.
There are failed plans to reinstate the Bury to Rochdale railway as a Metrolink line.

The line and station were closed on 5 October 1970 as part of continuing cutbacks in British Rail services and the line west to Bolton subsequently dismantled.
Modern Mooch 
Looking a bit sad, isn’t it – I used it a few times pre-covid, when the vertical transport thing (er, lift) was new, and people kept getting out at the wrong level, or coming back to where they’d started. But other than the vast distances between stuff (unavoidable unless travelators or similar I suppose), it did seem better than the previous dog’s breakfast.
