Wheather commercial or not, this is a bad route change, The majority of this route between Bury and the Bolton Boarder looses a bus an hour, speaking as someone who has lived in Ainsworth nearly 20 years and is old enough to remember the 509/510 combined 20 min frequency. This is tough to take, the only winner on this is Darcy Lever and please don't try to tell me that is more commercially viable than Bury to withins, because its rubbish. Most of the drivers I've spoken to although don't work for tfgm believe the 536 should have been withdrawn. Making the 511 half hourly, but of course doesn't work like that in tfgm's eyes. For the residents of Ainsworth 90 per cent of which are elderly and don't own cars its a bitter pill to swallow.
