The new layout will mean services will run quicker and without delays, according to the council
A bus gate is set to be installed in Rawtenstall town centre as a part of a major overhaul of its gyratory system. The measure has been designed to help make journeys faster and more reliable for bus passengers.
An exact date for the introduction of the revised layout has not yet been released. Work on the wider project is taking place in phases through to next spring and includes the gyratory’s pedestrian subway being taken out of use. “This will help to reduce journey times and improve the reliability of a number of bus routes including the X43 Witchway as the bus will no longer have to complete a circuit of the gyratory when heading north from Rawtenstall Bus Station. The funding will also contribute towards the installation of Intelligent Bus Priority equipment on the new traffic signals.
