by Lib Dem team on 30 January, 2021
We have been told that the frequency of many Greater Manchester bus services is being reduced from Sunday 31st January 2021.
This includes the Number 11 bus, which drops to one bus every 30 minutes Monday-Friday.
Here is the full list for Stockport.
These changes have been agreed between the commercial bus operators and TfGM in response to lockdown.
