Over the last two years, Rochdale and Oldham have experienced extensive road works, diversions and public transport disruptions as the new Metrolink line was installed. However the work is finally complete, leaving in its place a brand new tram service, making it more convenient than ever to travel around Greater Manchester.
The changes took their toll on many in the Oldham and Rochdale area as traffic was diverted and bus routes were constantly changing. Union Street was particularly affected by the developments, with the new line running through the town centre towards Oldham Mumps and then onto Rochdale town centre. Due to our close proximity to one of the new Oldham stops, at Wrigley Claydon, we also felt the strain, with plenty of construction taking place right outside our Oldham branch. As well as being noisy and an eyesore, the work also made access to the office difficult, and we apologise to anyone who experienced any inconvenience visiting our offices during the installation.
Things were a bit hectic at our offices for a while, but now that everything is finished, we’re delighted to be so close to a Metrolink stop. The new Oldham King Street stop is just around the corner from us, making it incredibly handy for our customers. We’re now easy to access for anyone in the Greater Manchester area, as well as making it easier for us to get to you.
