Greater Manchester Service Changes

[SF07]

RE: Greater Manchester Service Changes
Not many changes mentioned in the forthcoming GMCA Bus Services sub committee meeting:

• 6 (Transdev): The evening service between Rochdale and Kirkholt proposed to be reduced to hourly.
• 17/18 (Go North West): Early evening service proposed to be reduced from every 10 minutes each to every 15 minutes each (7-8 mins combined)
• 17B (Go North West): New journey introduced between Middleton and Stake Hill Industrial Estate, running one return journey at 0643 from Middleton, returning at 0654.
• 111/113 (Stagecoach Lancs): Due to changes to tendered services by Lancashire County Council, existing service 113 between Wigan and Preston will be replaced between Leyland and Wigan by an extended 111 service, meaning services between Wigan and Preston will run via Lostock Hall instead of Bamber Bridge. Service also re-routed between Standish and Wigan to run via Rectory Lane and Chorley Road, replacing current services 640/641.
• 129 (Go North West): Go North West to take over the Middleton-Hollin service with frequency reduced from every 40 minutes to every 60 minutes.
• 151 (Go Goodwins/Little Gem): Service extended from Failsworth to Ashton, replacing service 397 with service taken over by Go Goodwins. Service re-routed in Failsworth to run via Church Street instead of Pole Street, to avoid services in both directions using the stops at James Street (near end of Roman Road junction).
• 458 (Transdev): Hourly evening service introduced between Rochdale and Stansfield via Wardle, Hollingworth Lake and Littleborough.
• 500 (Vision Bus): Bolton Metroshuttle service withdrawn. Various services cover parts of the route around the town centre for people with concessionary passes.
• 640/641 (Warrington's Own Buses): Services re-routed to serve Bradley Lane, Platt Land and Chorley Road, to restore a bus service to the Worthington area of Wigan. Service 111 (current 113) is re-routed to serve Rectory Lane, as a replacement.
• Logistics North Local Link (Telecars): Service proposed to be withdrawn. Services 20 and 38 currently serving Logistics North with service 521 re-routed in April 2021 to provide links from Logistics North to Westhoughton and Farnworth.
