Stockport Viaduct
Stockport Viaduct

Stockport Viaduct carries the West Coast Main Line across the valley of the River Mersey in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England (grid reference SJ89089030). It is one of the largest brick structures in the United Kingdom and a major structure of the early railway age. It is immediately north of Stockport railway station. The viaduct was designed by George Watson Buck in consultation with the architect John Lowe for the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. Work began in March 1839 and despite its scale and flooding from the Mersey, the viaduct was completed in December 1840 and services commenced the same month. Roughly 11 million bricks were used in its construction; at the time of its completion, it was the world's largest viaduct and a major feat of engineering. The viaduct is 33.85 metres (111.1 ft) high. Since March 1975, Stockport Viaduct has been a Grade II* listed structure; it remains one of the world's biggest brick structures.Several alterations have been made to the viaduct, in the late 1880s it was widened to accommodate four tracks by the London and North Western Railway. In the 1960s, overhead catenary lines were installed by British Rail for the West Coast Main Line electrification scheme. In the second half of the 20th century, the M60 motorway was built, passing through two of the viaduct's arches between Junction 1 (A5145 road) and Junction 27 (Portwood Roundabout). The viaduct has been subject to renovation and remedial repairs over the years.

Stockport bus station
Stockport bus station

Stockport bus station in Stockport, Greater Manchester was a bus terminus for approximately sixty-five bus services. It opened on 2 March 1981 on the site of a former car park. Before the bus station opened, most services terminated at Mersey Square. The bus station was located between Wellington Road (A6) and the Stockport Viaduct, a few hundred metres from Stockport railway station. The main bus station had 24 stands. Two additional stops, one for each direction, were located on Wellington Road, which runs between the bus station and Mersey Square; these were used by through services, including the high-frequency 192 route to Piccadilly Gardens. In 2014, plans to demolish the bus station and build a new a £42 million transport interchange on the existing site with a connection to the railway station were announced, but these plans were never carried out. In June 2018, plans were announced for a brand-new bus station (Stockport Interchange), that would be constructed on the same site underneath a 2-acre park. Other improved transport links will also be built, including a bridge to the railway station. On 29 August 2021 at 03:15, all stands at Stockport Bus Station (excluding the two Wellington Road stops) were closed after 40 years of continuous operation, being temporarily replaced by a new small bus terminal off Heaton Lane, as well as several bus stops spread out across Stockport town centre. The new Stockport Interchange facility is due to be completed in 2024.
