Heavy snow causes pre-Christmas bus chaos

When Bing Crosby dreamed of a white Christmas he didn't factor in the chaos it would cause to bus services.

Greater Manchester's bus services have been in a pretty shoddy state over recent days. Many services in the hills and ungritted estates saw diversions and cancellations. The Manchester Evening News listed the cancellations on Tuesday.

Since then, further heavy snow around the region has added to the misery with some areas like Langley near Middleton seeing a patchy service.

The Manchester Evening News really has been providing a sterling service in spreading news about delays. The paper's Dean Kirby has been offering frequent updates via his Twitter account.

Most services are now back to normal but disruption continues in some outlying areas.

Merry Christmas from Manchester Buses - thanks for your support this year. Posts have been infrequent at times and for that we can only apologise. This site still gets a decent amount of traffic and interest so we will continue to post bus news from around Greater Manchester.

If you would like to join our writing team to improve the frequency and variety of our posts get in touch for more information.
