The 415 is having a timetable change with the bus only spending 5 mins now at Oldham and running back to Middleton. This bus then interworks onto the 129 meaning. The morning bus also looks to do the 17B so overall, no PVR increase but they have secured 2 new routes. Quite good I think that.

The 40 min layover can get tidious but I’m told the times either end are quite tight so any traffic or hold ups and the bus is late for the rest of the day pretty much.
When the 96 changed route late last year TFGM never altered the times so you hit traffic in Prestwich and the bus is then late pretty much all day.
It’s clever on paper but in reality recovery time is a must.
