1Stockport Key Centre Analysis

• This PowerPoint presentation has been created to accompany GMTU Report 947 – GMATS Stockport Key Centre report

• Whereas report 947 presents detailed tabulations, this presentation has been designed to provide a summary of the main aspects of the data

GMATS Surveys 2002

Report 947P - Stockport Key Centre


• The presentation has been designed so that it can be used independently of GMTU Report 947 for those who want an overview of the traffic movements around Stockport but do not wish to see the detailed tabulations

• GMTU Reports 947 & 947P are part of a series of reports presenting the data from the 2002 GMATS surveys

GMATS Surveys 2002

Report 947P - Stockport Key Centre


• Travellers leaving Stockport Key Centre by car & bus were asked about their journeys as they crossed a cordon around the centre

• Rail passengers boarding at Stockport station were also interviewed

• This presentation gives an overview of the findings from those surveys

• It considers first people who had visited the Centre, then those travelling through

GMATS Surveys 2002Stockport Key Centre


• Note that the GMATS survey points lie outside the ring road - this is to provide data for a town centre traffic model

• The Key Centre monitoring points for the LTP lie inside the ring road and south of the M60

• This latter cordon defines the Key Centre used in this analysis
