The mayor made the assessment after a caller asked for more bus shelters in the area on the BBC Radio Manchester Hotseat show, presented by Mike Sweeney. Eddie in Failsworth asked: “Is there anything you can do to provide us with some more bus shelters in Failsworth along the 76 route, Andy? There’s around about a dozen bus stops in Failsworth, and only two, at the present time, have bus shelters. “I know a lot of people, including myself, would use that bus route more often if we had shelters to protect us from the adverse weather conditions. “But when the Bee Network comes in in North Manchester, Failsworth on the border, Oldham and into Rochdale, I think that your area is the area that, over the years, has probably had the worst bus service in Greater Manchester.
