I was working in Ashton last month, nice old style bus station (soon to be redeveloped)
Decent mix of Stagecoach, First and indies around there , plus you get to scratch off a terminating tram stop. You could catch a local train back to Picadilly too.
Edited to add...for some reason I can't explain, I couldn't resist a ride on a First Marshall Dart up to Hazelhurst!
