Service 408 (Oldham – Royton – Shaw – Buckstones)
People may recall that peak journeys were removed on this service in January 2018 because at that time their cost of operation could not be justified was the reason given.
I have raised this issue on a number of occasions.
I am now pleased to report the re-introduction of peak journeys on this service.
This will come at a cost but this will now be covered by savings achieved on changes to the 149/406 services.
Usage south of Oldham is low with Glodwick Road and Abbeyhills Road covered by service 425. So the service will now terminate in Oldham.
GOOD NEWS – ANOTHER PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE SUBSIDISED 408 SERVICE
In addition to the above changes the evening and Sunday service is to be revised to match the Monday to Saturday service – ie providing an hourly all day service running between Oldham and Shaw only.
Great I work at Tameside General Hospital and it would be door to door looking forward to seeing the timetable
The service will now terminate in Oldham.
New timetable:
