CHANGES
408 Buckstones – Oldham – Stalybridge – Droylsden – First Manchester.

Service 408 provides an hourly daily daytime service between Buckstones and Droylsden and an hourly evening service between Shaw and Stalybridge which has an earlier finish on Sundays than on Mondays to Saturdays.

The daily evening and Sunday daytime journeys currently follow a non-standard route via Alt Estate to provide links which are provided by First Manchester commercial service 425 during the daytime.

A section of Park Road, between Woodstock Street and Glodwick Road would become unserved; however, all stops are within 400 metres of alternative stops on Waterloo Street. This action simplifies the local network, removing differences between the daytime and evening service.
