This bus stop on the left is where the 203 for Stockport via Gorton and Reddish leaves Manchester. The 201, 204, 205, 206 and 207 also depart from here. The slightly more direct 192 service to Stockport down the A6 through Levenshulme leaves from the stop below. Across the road is a large NCP car park. The former Halford's owned "cycle republic" SJ8498 : cycle republic store beneath has been taken over by Pure Electric.
The A6

The A6 is Britain's fourth longest road and one of the main historic north-south roads in England. It currently runs for 299 miles from Luton in Bedfordshire to Carlisle in Cumbria, although it formerly started at a junction with the A1 at Barnet.

Running north west from Luton, the road travels through Bedford, bypasses Rushden, Kettering and Market Harborough, continues through Leicester, Loughborough, Derby and Matlock before going through the Peak District to Bakewell, Buxton, Stockport, Manchester, Salford, Pendleton, Irlams o' th' Height, Pendlebury, Swinton, Walkden, Little Hulton, Bolton, Chorley, Preston, Lancaster, Kendal and Penrith before reaching Carlisle.
