After about a year and a half and costing around three million pounds, Hyde Bus Station reopened in Spring 2005.
A good picture of it in its pristine state is one by Ralph E Starkweather which was taken from the opposite end to mine.
It is certainly a lot warmer than the old one, there being some shelter from the icy blasts. There are also some seats. However, they are made of metal and very cold to sit down upon in winter. If we get some hot summer weather then they'll probably be too hot to touch.
The biggest complaint I've heard though is about the fact that it costs 20p to spend a penny.
