CHECKS by "undercover" passengers are being introduced to improve standards at Bolton's Moor Lane bus station.

Transport chiefs have launched a new and improved monitoring regime for Moor Lane and other stations across Greater Manchester. They are also urging bus passengers to make suggestions for improving their local station.

Chairman of the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority's Transport Network Committee, Cllr Allen Brett, said: "Thousands of people use our bus stations and we want to make sure that they are well maintained and meet high standards."
