Unless, I'm missing tghe odd exception, TFGM stopped subsidisng Night buses a couple of years ago, with an earlier round of budget cuts. No one else has subsidised Night buses and plenty of people around GM have never seen any form of public transport after 2330ish, so why is Bolton so special? They even admit there is a train after midnight - which itself suggests they are prepared to walk a long distance, or catch a taxi for part of the journey home - so why not the full journey?
And what sort of a message are these politicians sending out - "we don't care about non motorists being denied access to jobs, medical services and shops, just as long as people can not only go out and have a pint (or 8), but can't even support their local pub!"

I did try to point out some of these points to the said party however they dont seem to understand, If you got Facebook you should be able to view the *chat* here https://www.facebook.com/BoltonLibDems/p...nt_mention

Bolton's LGBT community also not happy with the withdrawals of the 8, 36 and 39 night services.

Having travelling on the 184 route regularly between Huddersfield and Oldham in the past, it looks like the driver might have attempted a late turn off the A62 down to Diggle. Seen a few drivers braking late for the turn.
