Transport
Public transport in the area is co-ordinated by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive. There are many bus routes through the town. Services from north to south terminate in Ashton-under-Lyne to the north and Stockport in the south, as well as east to west terminating in Glossop to the east and Manchester in the west. National coaches stop here offering connection to the rest of Britain.
There have been proposals to build a railway station near the site of the Astley Deep pit alongside the Dewsnap sidings, but as yet these have not been put into action.
The nearest airports are Manchester to the south west and Leeds Bradford to the east.
There are several canals which cross through the town and outlying areas giving connection to Marple and Manchester and cross the Pennines to West Yorkshire and beyond.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
