The campaign was started following complaints locally regarding the bus service
An ‘express’ bus service taking commuters directly from Heywood into Manchester city centre could return. The re-imagined 167 bus would start in Norden, stopping at Bamford, Heywood and Rhodes before heading into the city centre. Heywood and Middleton MP Elsie Blundell has already met with Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham over the issue and made a submission to Transport for Greater Manchester.
Given that two thirds also described current services as ‘bad’, it means there is both room for improvement and real interest from passengers to see it happen. “Improving buses is good for everyone on the road. Reducing traffic and congestion by using the bus to school, work, hospital or the shops, will be good for everyone. “When it comes to local bus services the needs of communities in my constituency are not currently being met.
