[CJH]

Hello, It will be both pre and post match.

Thats good, theres always a big queue at the P&R

It will hopefully help having 2 buses to split everyone over. Let me know your thoughts once you have tried it out.

Just an update with this, I have asked the operator to trial Briscoe Lane for the fixture this Sunday and then we will review after to see if there was an improvement in journey time.

Nice one unfortunately I’m not at the game but it should cut times down. Can’t fault your customer service on this.

Ahh that's a shame, but don't worry we will be able to look at how long it takes and compare the two, ill keep you posted on the outcome!

Due road closures for Remembrance Sunday in Tottington, MC12 will be diverted, and unable to pick up at Greenmount and Tottington.

MC 12 will now pick up in Ramsbottom as usual, then the Hare and Hounds in Holcombe Brook, and then next stop Bury Interchange

Times are as below -
Ramsbottom Market 14.20
Stop D, Hare & Hounds 14.28
Bury Interchange 14.42

Apologies for the late notice of the diversion and stop changes.

Used bus MCO6 today, used to use it frequently but started getting the train as its quicker and more reliable but not on Sunday so used it again today.
Going was brilliant and couldn't fault it.
Return not so good .... It must have took 20 mins to get from the car park to the main road, Im sure that it never took that long in the past ,didnt they used to have someone on the lights to let the buses out or is that my imagination .
Finally got to Heaton Chapel at around 19.50.
Train for me from now on even on Sunday unless they sort the lights out or put a toilet on it .

@matchdaybus the point about getting out of the car park/through the lights is a good one, it does seem to be taking longer and longer. Once all the buses are ready to roll couldn’t the police temporarily take control of the junction like they do for the away fans coaches?

Good point. It would only take a few minutes to get the buses out into the main road

Hello, some TfGM staff are currently taking part in industrial action which is why we haven’t had the support in place for traffic signals the last couple of fixtures. We should be back to normal for the next fixture. We apologise for any inconvenience.
