Transport for Greater Manchester says the scheme, which links Leigh and Manchester city centre, will reduce rush-hour delays, but has been heavily criticised for the ongoing works delays throughout the project.

4.5 miles of guided busway between Leigh and Ellenbrook are now expected to be completed by spring 2016.
