I think the 52 replaced the old 406, we used to have the old mercs on it and everytime it went over a speed bump it would send you flying upwards I was terrified of them because of that until the solos came and then the 183 replaced the 52 which was curtailed at Tesco and now I use the 183 to get to college, does anyone remember the old 404/5 buses which went to Limeside they were cut in 2002 I think?

The 52 used to follow the 76 route from Failsworth Day Drive to Oldham when it was first extended to Oldham before being re-routed to replace the 406 route via Coppice. I seem to remember the old 404/405 service running a circular route around Limeside and then went on to Oldham and then I think at one point continuing to Moston. Also have memories of the previous 405 service from the GM Buses days running along Chapel Road and Chamber Road.
