02. Our Five
Year Transport
Delivery Plan
Our Five Year Transport Delivery Plan (2021–2026)
details what Greater Manchester wants to achieve
in the next five years as the first steps towards
delivering our vision for transport.
It sets out the practical actions planned to deliver
the Greater Manchester Transport Strategy
2040 and achieve the ambitions of the Greater
Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and
the Mayor, providing a coordinated approach to
transport investment.
It is also intended to inform the development of
the Greater Manchester Infrastructure Programme
(GMIP) and outline Greater Manchester’s future
transport investment pipeline, highlighting our
readiness to draw on funding announced in the
2020 Spending Review.
Our Five Year Transport Delivery Plan supports the
implementation of Our Network, a ten-year plan
to create a world-class, modern, integrated and
reliable transport system for Greater Manchester.
It brings together different modes of public
transport – bus, tram, rail, tram-train and cycling
and walking – in an integrated, easy-to-use system
with seamless connections, and simplified
ticketing and fares.
Our Five Year Transport Delivery Plan is supported
by Local Implementation Plans (LIPs) for 2021 to
2026 for each of the 10 GM Local Authorities.

1505. In the next
five years…
Over the next five years we need to focus on reducing carbon
emissions, improving air quality, supporting recovery from the Covid-19
pandemic, tackling social exclusion and helping to deliver expected
housing and employment growth.
Our focus will therefore be on investing in walking, cycling and public
transport networks; better integrating our existing transport system;
and developing major sustainable transport schemes for delivery in
the medium and long term.
This will deliver the Our Network plan to create a world-class, modern,
integrate and reliable transport system. In summary, our main
programme includes:
Our Bus
— Bus priority measures
— Bus Rapid Transit
— Introduction of Quality Bus Transit corridors
— Town centre interchange development in Bury
— Upgrades/renewals
Our Metrolink
— Enhanced passenger facilities and access to stops
— New stops to support spacial growth priorities
— Network capacity and resilience
— Major schemes
— Tram train early development

1606. Developing
future transport
interventions
We hope to be well underway with our programme
of interventions in the next five years, but our vision
reaches far beyond this. COVID-19 has forced us to
re-evaluate how we work and travel, we will continue
to adapt to these challenges as we recover. If we are
to achieve our vision by 2040, we must think long-
term and act now. The plan also identifies longer-
term ambitions and priorities, including:
— Future Metrolink expansion;
— Develop Tram-Train services to provide
extra capacity on exiting rail corridors;
— Further expansion of Bus Rapid Transit,
interchange development and quality
bus connections between our town and
city centres;
— Continuing to invest in active transport
infrastructure and promoting walking and
cycling to improve our health and environment;
— Sustainable freight projects; and
— Preparation for the arrival of HS2 and NPR.
These transport improvements are being delivered
by a range of delivery bodies including Transport for
Greater Manchester, local authorities, Network Rail
and Highways England.
