Diamond Bus North West

RE: Diamond Bus North West
The 582 has been "difficult" for many years, ever since I first used it - long gaps, often followed by convoys of 3+ buses. I suggest the main problems are congestion - particularly at the Bolton end, in Leigh and sometimes at Hulton Lane Ends. The problems are often made worse by badly phased traffic lights, too many traffic lights, and roadworks. Road authorities seem to think that traffic lights help to solve congestion problems - from my observations, they often make things a lot worse - and sometimes more dangerous.
