Diamond Bus North West

[SF07]

RE: South Lancs Travel
Some of SLT's changes are listed in the documents for Friday's TfGM Bus Committee meeting, with changes scheduled for 8 July.

The 126's weekday extension to Horwich will be withdrawn and replaced by service 517 and new service 518, which will operate commercially. The 518, which will also replace the 516 Saturday daytime service, will run between Leigh and Horwich via Brazley and Pennine Road, while the 517 is extended from Horwich to Blackrod to replace the 714. The 0740 journey on the 126 from Leigh to Trafford Centre will be withdrawn.

The 581 will be withdrawn and partly replaced by services 683/684 and new services 693/694. 683/684 will no longer serve Higher Green but TfGM are recommending that the services serve New Hall Farm. New services 693/694 will run a similar route to 683/684 but will serve Higher Green and not serve New Hall Farm. Both services will run every 2 hours each to continue the hourly service. The 654 will be re-routed to serve Higher Green, meaning the service will leave Walkden 5 minutes earlier.

SLT will take over the Monday-Saturday service on the 597 from Stagecoach, which will be operated commercially.
