610 Wigan-Hawkley Hall Circular, this will be extended to serve Lockett Road (Bryn Depot) from 22nd July, route will be normal route to St Paul's Avenue, left onto Carr Lane, right Fulbeck Avenu (basically the opposite way round Hawkley Hall than currently), left Warrington Road then down to Lockett Road past the depot (stopping for staff) continuing around Industrial Estate, right back upto Bryn Cross, right along A49 down to Marus Bridge roundabout, back on itself along A49 upto Ben Johnson then left then normal route back through Hawkley Hall to Wigan

As for 26 this is actually being withdrawn completely and X34 is being rerouted through Boothstown to partly cover the missing 26 and 12 is also being changed to incoporate part of the missing 26 and new service 25 which I haven't got any info as of yet

So, will the 610 extension be designed for ferrying drivers between the depot and Wigan bus station?

I had a feeling that the X34 would be re-routed to Boothstown. What route will it take through Boothstown? Presumably, Chaddock Lane, Leigh Road, Simpson Road and Ellenbrook Road to the East Lancs? Will the service be increased to every half hour as a result?

The new 25 service will be intriguing to see what route it'll take. No doubt more information will come out in the next 6 1/2 weeks until the changes take place on 22 July.
