Congestion Charge

Bolton

If you live in Bolton, here's how it's looking. Cash from the congestion charge will mean more frequent trains able to carry more people at peak times. There'll be improvements to rail stations at Daisy Hill, Hall' i' th' Wood, Bromley Cross, Bolton central, Lostock, Westhoughton, Blackrod. You'll also see more buses, running earlier and later into the day. There'll also be what's described as a 'rapid bus service' into Manchester that'll use dedicated bus lanes for half of the route. And the existing bus station will move next to the trains at Trinity Street to create a new transport interchange. You'll also see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses. However, there are no plans to extend the Metrolink to Bolton.

Bury

Cash from the congestion charge will mean more buses and extra services, plus buses that will run earlier and later into the day. You'll be able to chose from at least eight services an hour on the main routes. There'll be no new tram stops in Bury itself but there will be more destinations that you can reach from Bury because of the network expansions. Double trams will also run on all services at peak times. You'll see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses. But the plans have not won over Bury council which has voted against the congestion charge.

Oldham

The tram is already on its way - with or without the congestion charge - but the extra cash from the C-charge would mean a revised route, bringing the tram through Oldham town centre with stops at Westwood, King street and a relocated Oldham Mumps. You'll see more buses and new services at peak times - buses will also run earlier and later into the day. There'll be extra carriages on peak time train services - and Greenfield station will be spruced-up. The Mills Hill park and ride will also be improved. You'll see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses.

Manchester

If you use Metrolink to get around Manchester, you can look forward to more trams with extra capacity. There'll be an expansion of the tram network to Manchester Airport via Wythenshawe. There'll also be trams to East Didsbury and a second Metrolink crossing between G-Mex and Victoria. On the trains, you'll see station improvements at Piccadilly, Oxford Road, Ashburys and Victoria. There would be more buses, travelling more often and running earlier and later into the day. Manchester will also be the destination of the three new rapid bus services bringing in people from Leigh, Salford, Bolton and Didsbury. And you'll see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses.

Rochdale

The good news is that the tram is already on its way to Rochdale - as far as the train station - but cash from the congestion charge will mean a further extension right into the town centre. There'll be Metrolink stops at Drake Street and near to the bus station. You'll see more buses, travelling more often and running earlier and later into the day. And there'll be a cross-city bus route running from Middleton to Chorlton. There'll be extra carriages on peak time trains - and you'll see improvements to stations at Castleton, Rochdale and Smithy Bridge. You'll also see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses.

Salford

Cash from the congestion charge will mean more buses - so 90% of you living in Salford should be five minutes walk from a bus stop. There'll be dedicated bus lanes and new services. And you'll be able to catch fast, priority services through Chapel street and Salford Crescent and on to Wigan and Leigh. Extra carriages for trains running at peak times will be introduced. There'll be improvements to rail stations at Eccles, Salford Crescent, Irlam and Walkden, as well as Salford Central. You'll also see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses. You'll have more trams, more often - and there'll be better links to and from Eccles and Salford Quays. The new MediaCity tram stop has already been agreed regardless - but there's been criticism that the congestion charge won't fund any further Metrolink expansion.

Stockport

The plan to revamp the town centre may have been shelved, but there is some consolation: the TIF plan includes a new look for the bus station. You'd see extra bus routes plus new and more reliable buses. If you're walking between the bus and train stations there'd be a better pedestrian link. There would be spruced-up train stations, including Bramhall, Reddish North, Bredbury and Rose Hill. You'll also see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses. They'd be new park and ride schemes in Cheadle Hulme, Heald Green, Romiley and Hazel Grove. Space would be made for trams to arrive in Stockport in the future - but what you WON'T be getting is the Metrolink this time round - or a link into Marple. At least not yet - a study is being carried to see if it would be possible one day. There's also no mention of building the A6 relief road to ease congestion through Stockport.

Tameside

If Greater Manchester votes 'yes' in the referendum, you'll be able to catch a tram right into the heart of Ashton-under-Lyne - thanks to a new 3.8km extension to the line. Metrolink stops will be built at Audenshaw, Ashton Moss, Ashton West and Ashton town centre. But you'll get the tram extension to Droylsden with or without the charge. There'll be extra carriages on peak time trains - and you'll see improvements to stations at Flowery Field, Newton for Hyde, Hattersley and Broadbottom. There would be more buses, travelling more often and running earlier and later into the day. You'll also see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses.

Trafford

On the Metrolink, you'll get trams to the Trafford Centre and Trafford Park as well as a Metrolink to Manchester Airport via Firswood and Sale Moor. You'd also see trams doubled at peak times, meaning space for 200 more people per trip. Train stations at Altrincham, Hale and Flixton will be renovated and updated. You'll see more CCTV, interactive transport signs and yellow school buses. And there'll be a new bus and tram interchange at White City. Buses will run more frequently and for longer in the day. And you'll be able to park and ride at Sale Water Park, as well as the Trafford Centre. But the package has not persuaded Trafford Council or the Trafford Centre to back the congestion charge. They're among the fiercest opponents of the plans.

Wigan

The main benefit to public transport in Wigan will be a new 22km high-tech bus route from Leigh to Manchester via Salford. Buses will run every 15 mins along their own trackway and traffic lanes. There'll also be more buses, running for longer hours on the general network. Trains will get extra carriages at peak times to carry more passengers. And you'll see improvements at rail stations in Hindley, Ince, Bryn, Pemberton, Gathurst, and Appley Bridge. A transport interchange will be created by linking the bus depot with Wigan Wallgate and Wigan North Western. You'll see more CCTV, interactive transport signs - and yellow school buses. But what you won't get in Wigan is the tram. There are no plans to extend the Metrolink to Wigan.
