Local people have been concerned about rumours of the future of bus services that serve Simister Village. All of these services are subsidised by GMPTE as they provide a vital public service. I’ve had discussions with bothy PTE and the current operator BuVal and can report the following good news:

795 - No changes - this is the school service that goes to Parenthorn School and will continue to be operated by BuVal.

96 - No changes - this Simister - Manchester service has been extended again to January 2010 (again operated by BuVal.

495 - Simister - Tescos - this service will stop being operated by BuVal from April 2009, however a new operator (not yet disclosed) has been agreed by the PTE and will continue as normal after April there will be no timetable changes to the service.

Hope this clarifies the situation.
