The busway follows the same route, there are no houses on the old line, follow it on google map

I'd guess that only about 5% or 10% of our customers to Buxton are tourists, i'd say plenty of commuters who live in Buxton as it is a nice area and loads of kids and students.

If fact, 5% is probably being optimistic going on the amount of weekly tickets that get sold. Buxton compares with places like Heaton Chapel and Levenshulme for the % of weeklys sold.

Do we have the number of ' commuters ' living in Leigh to fill these trains ?

Just asking as I dont know , personally if it took me longer than 20 minutes to get to work , I'd either change jobs or move nearer to work

It can take you that long to get through Astley and onto the lanc's some mornings.

But that's your opinion, I commute half an hour to work every day and it suits me fine. Have you ever seen how many people use buses to get into Manchester, Bolton or Wigan in a morning or evening?
