I NOTE the letter from Marjorie Haydock, Blackrod, re my previous letter on the 521 bus service.
With respect, she may have misunderstood my comment. I said the first 521 bus started from Westhoughton.
In fact, the 8.40am bus starts from Westhoughton, it is correct that 521 starts from Blackrod 9.40am.
The very point I made, that anyone who had an early appointment at the hospital had to find an alternative route; I also said that later it was possible to get the 521 from Blackrod, and get to Bolton by changing at Westhoughton.
The point being that, other than going all round Horwich to get to Bolton, and then to get another bus from Bolton to the hospital for a 9am to 9.30am appointment, was by two buses.
Hon Ald Mr John Monaghan, The Cheethams, Blackrod
