Can imagine it being a lot nicer for photographs of things departing at the right time of day however where is the layover?

Layover is on next to the Stagecoach office and that's behind the 'photographer'

RE: New Wigan Bus Station
I have drawn a map of what I expect the new bus station to look like. It's based on information from TfGM website, the developer's website and sightings of the bus station from yesterday. I've also taken a few photos at the Bishopgate end of the bus station. Site management wouldn't allow me with my camera at New Market Street so was unable to get photos there.
I'm missing the layout of the bus station, number of bus stands and entrance and exit though I expect they'll remain untouched. There may also be additional layover on the other side of the island.
