Shaw Lib Dem Councillor Howard Sykes MBE and member of Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has sought to re-assure local residents who use the 408 bus that this vitally important route and service will continue, following the withdrawal of daytime journeys provided by First Manchester.

“Some citizens appear to have been told the day time service would be stopping,” claimed Councillor Sykes.  “A significant number have been in touch with me about this.  They have clearly been given the wrong information.”

“With effect from Monday 4 April 2016 there will be some changes to the Monday to Saturday daytime timetable on service 408,” stated Councillor Sykes.  “Following the withdrawal of daytime journeys provided by First Manchester replacement journeys will be introduced, funded by TfGM and operated by Rosso.”

“These journeys will maintain an hourly daytime link between Buckstones, Shaw, Royton and Oldham.  First Manchester will continue to provide weekday peak journeys between Stalybridge, Oldham and Buckstones and the evening and Sunday service will continue unchanged.”

“The weekday journeys will follow the same route and timetable as the current service with the exception of the 14:22 weekday departure from Oldham which will no longer operate.  An alternative journey departs Oldham at 13:52.  On Saturdays, Rosso will follow the same route and timetable as the existing service.

“Hopefully updated timetable leaflets will be available shortly and local people can continue to use this essential bus service,” said Councillor Sykes.
