The service

Passengers travelling the full length of the route will enjoy journeys that are quick, frequent, reliable and comfortable.

During the day from Monday to Saturday there will be at least four buses per hour running from Leigh town centre along the busway through to Manchester city centre, and at least four buses per hour from Atherton which will join the guided part of the busway at Tyldesley Interchange. This will mean that from Tyldesley to central Manchester there will be at least eight buses per hour that use this route. All of these services will end at the purpose-built waiting facility at the Central Manchester Hospitals site on Oxford Road. Passengers will be able to enjoy the same frequency and benefits travelling from Manchester towards Leigh, Tyldesley or Atherton along the route. The services will be less frequent in the evenings and on Sundays.
