TfGM announced the V2 would return on a full-time schedule
It was the cut that left residents feeling trapped - and businesses fearful for the future. But now the V2 bus - which links Atherton to Manchester, is set to return.
The idea behind the Bee Network is to bring buses under local control in a London-style system, creating a more efficient and comprehensive service than the current deregulated market.As part of these plans, TfGM has announced the ambition to increase the daytime frequency on the V1 and V2 services on the Leigh Guided Busway to at least eight buses in each direction every hour .
For places like the Snug, a café/bar that showcases live music acts, the V2 bus service brought acts and punters. Before the service was cut down, they often had young music acts travelling with their kit on the bus arriving directly outside the door of the coffee house. “That regular bus will be great as people don’t want to be restricted by bus times. I think we’re going to see a massive difference in Atherton.
“We don’t know where people come from most of the time when they’re not local. For a night out it’s different from the early evening trade and the bus will help those coming from out of the area. He says businesses in the town have changed dramatically in recent years, with traditional vendors such as green grocers and butchers leaving due to the introduction of supermarkets, replaced by bars, cafes and hairdressers.
“Manchester offers a variety that local shops don’t. I have worked outside the town in my life and I escaped at one point. A musician who goes by the name of Spud was playing his saxophone on the high street, watching the world go by. A local man himself, who plays in various high streets in Bolton, Wigan and Salford, he sees Atherton's centre as lacking - but not in a way that's out of the ordinary at the moment.“But I don’t think people would come here from Manchester. It’s a political mess altogether with the economic situation, I’ve been here two hours and got £10.
