Blackburn Road will be closed at the access to the current Northstone site from Tuesday 11th November until Friday 12th December. During this period the X41 bus service will be unable to travel through Blackburn Road and Market Street. Transdev had proposed for the X41 to miss Edenfield totally but have now agreed to divert the service to serve the south of the village. Details provided by our County Councillor Joanne Ash are shown below including a map of the temporary route. Â
Details of X41 service 11th November until 12th December
Transdev, after a risk assessment, has agreed to serve part of Edenfield during the Blackburn Road closure. Unfortunately, this does involve temporary parking restrictions on Bolton Road North to allow the X41 to turn safely into Bury Road.
We have attached a picture showing the loop – for Manchester direction the bus will go around the loop in an anticlockwise direction. Accrington bound will be clockwise. This is the normal direction of travel on Bolton Road North so should not cause confusion.
Whilst some parts of the route cannot be served, we think this is a great help to the village and we appreciate the bus operator’s cooperation in resolving this matter.
