There’s an alternative in the 18 and 135, not to mention the tram, so the likely hood is IF it is put out to tender they will only cover the Middleton - darn hill - bury section as there’s no direct alternative.

Look at the 162 to Norden. TFGM are only paying for 6 journeys a day on the 17 to extend to Norden.

It will be put out to Tender or it will never return. And am sure the local MP will be pushing hard. Look at what happened with Newton health to Ashton
