For those not familiar with the area, it is just under a mile from Denton town centre, towards Manchester and on the opposite side of the town to most domiciles. It could be argued that it is close to the Dane Bank estate that constitutes the better off of the three Denton wards, but not only does Dane Bank have its own bus service to Manchester, large parts of it are within walking distance of one or both major routes with 16 buses per hour between them. The main relevance of the M60 is not only that Junction 24 is indeed adjacent to the Station, and therefore the station has been mooted as a P&R site, but the Junction itself forms a physical barrier between Dane Bank and the Station, meaning walking is not an option. To give you an idea, even if you only had cyclists rather than 44 ton lorries competing for space, would you use a two foot wide "footbridge" on Barton Bridge on a windy day?

Not really no if there was a picture of a bike in a red circle and if the wind was 30 something mph then I'd again say I probably wouldn't use the Barton Bridge footbridge
