Bus Route Changes to start 12 April

by prestwichfocus on 19 March, 2015

T4GM and First Manchester have now confirmed the start date for the changes to buses on the Manchester to Bury corridor, which particularly affects buses on the Bury New Road corridor, together with buses that go down to Carr Clough and Rainsough, and also up to Pillsworth.

There is also a minor routing change to the 135 in Manchester city centre.

There one addition to this schedule, introduced too late for this document, which is that there will be an additional shuttle on the route of the 95 from Rainsough to the Village to make this section of the route every 30 minutes.

These services are commercially run services operated by First Manchester, rather than subsidised services paid for by Transport for Greater Manchester. There are a lot of people who are very concerned and significantly affected by these changes. We have already written to First Manchester explaining the significant loss of journey opportunities lost to their customers and asking them to think again.
