Beware though, there are major roadworks on the X34 (as well as a number of other services on/near the East Lancs Road), so I would check First's website before travelling.

Thank you for telling me. I had planned to get an 8 to Farnworth, and as this operates from BN I wanted to avoid a similar bus, but thankfully the X34 is from QR. In the event, I conentrated on south Manchester to guarantee riding the Manchester Metrolink extension in 2014, as it had originally been earmarked to open in 2016!

I rode 33837 on route 41 from Eccles to Oxford Road. Although many E40Ds run on route 42, I am pleased that a few do run on route 41 too. I have thus been on a Streetlite on route 42 to NMGH and an E40D on route 41 from Eccles!
