So proud to achieve the FIRST new bus 🚌 route across GtrMcr for #Whelley, #NewSprings #Aspull. This is vital for residents of Bolton Rd who’ve been without a bus since the private company cut it 5 yrs ago. Thanks to Andy Burnham for making it possible with #BeeNetwork 🐝

Bee Network We can also confirm the first new service to be added to Bee Network. 🐝 Residents in Aspull will soon be reconnected after their service was lost five years ago. Well done Cllr Laura Flynn for leading the campaign. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Expect more of this as the Bee Network develops! 3/3

Quite something to see 615 signs go up on Bolton Rd #Aspull - stops that’ve been “School buses only” since service was cut in 2020. This is what buses under local control looks like 🐝 We’re out with posters/leaflets to promote the new bus 🚌 Thanks Andy Burnham Bee Network
