141 Bus – A dedicated service to run from East Didsbury direct to MMU Birley Campus
Over the summer, the Travel Team has been working with a local bus operator to implement a bus service running from East Didsbury to the Birley Campus.

The bus will run during term time only between:
• 15 September 2014 – 19 December 2014
• 12 January 2015 – 27 March 2015
• 20 April 2015 – 26 June 2015

I have seen 9 of these so far operating the 141 either between 0730 & 0800 or 1715-1740 between Parswood & Didsbury village where it turns left onto Barlow Moor Road. It is sad to say that I haven't seen a single passenger on any of the ones I've seen. I hope this improves for them. Personally, I think they started the service a couple of weeks earlier than they needed to.

There doesn't seem to be too many students around just at the moment. Give it another 2 to 3 weeks & that should change.
