Bus services in Stockport could undergo a shake-up after passengers in part of the town complained of being left stranded. People in the Edgeley area raised concerns that the 328 circular service to Stockport - which also goes through Adswood and Cheadle - was often missing out the ‘Little Europe’ estate.
Enquiries by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) found this was due to bus operator Stagecoach sometimes having to use vehicles that were too heavy to cross the Stockholm Road. Instead the bus was heading straight up Edgeley Road - leaving passengers on Dale Street, Petersburg Road and Vienna Road ‘stranded without any notice’, according to ward councillor Matt Wynne.
But it now appears a solution has been found to the issue, with bosses promising only smaller vehicles will be used on the route from now on. And there could also be a bigger shake up to bus services in the area to improve things in the longer term.
