Please see the following diversion and road closures that will affect services travelling through Saddleworth
on Whit Friday.

First bus have worked closely with Oldham Council, Greater Manchester Police and Event Organisers to try and keep
service disruption to a minimum.

I an Hulse, Operations Manager said, “The diversions and road closures are necessary due to the amount of people taking part in the events and the amount of visitors/pedestrians that are attracted to the area. Supervisors and managers will be out and about during both events to monitor the services and to deal with any safety issues that we may have.”
