City bus scheme for home games

[matchdaybus]

Is their any scope for extending the route for the bus that starts on the east Lancs near ellenbrook to start from Leigh. Would save getting stuck in traffic on a regular basis. Only other option is bus & tram and can take forever and a day.

Hello, not sure if you have seen the update above but we are extending the MC17 to Leigh as per your request - Hope this makes your journey easier

Will the closure of Alan Turing Way effect any of the buses that usually alight at the stop at Asda , namely the North Manc. Buses #13, #14 & #15 for Saturdays match v Liverpool ?

Hello, no there will be no impact to those services. The closure will impact services that access Connell College from the south. However, we have sent diversion routes to the operator in preparation for the weekend so everyone should get there fine.

What is the diversion route as I’m sure the Bus can’t cut through the estate?
This would only leave going towards Town onto Great Ancoats St?
If that’s the case, I would be getting off the stop before the closure and walking up.

25 minutes.

25 minutes.

Thank you. Probably was a daft question but it’s the first time I’ve used this service and it was top class.
Easily the quickest and best way home after a game

Not quite as quick as the Metrolink but undoubtably more reliable.

Bus number 6, driver was terrific today. Took us on a scenic tour to avoid the Alan Turing Way issues and got us to the college in very good time. The top deck applauded when he concluded one particularly tight manoeuvre!!

90 mins to get down Broadway on MC13 after the match, not the buses fault but bloody Costco fuel queue.

Oh wow! Really sorry to hear that! Hope you got home safe and well and a good result for the blues!

It is a wonderful service, I highly recommend it. My No.5 even managed to overtake his fellow No.5 on the way home with a brilliant manouevre.
