GMATS Surveys 2002
Report 974P - Bolton Key Centre
2Bolton Key Centre Analysis
• The presentation has been designed so that it can be used independently of GMTU Report 974 for those who want an overview of the traffic movements around Bolton but do not wish to see the detailed tabulations
• GMTU Reports 974 & 974P are part of a series of reports presenting the data from the 2002 GMATS surveys
GMATS Surveys 2002

• Travellers leaving Bolton Key Centre by car & bus were asked about their journeys as they crossed a cordon around the centre
• Rail passengers boarding at Bolton 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
