WELL said J Robinson.
Also compare with the guided busway the East Lancs Road.
ELR = £3 million cost.
GBW = £32 million initial cost (now much higher).
ELR = 28 miles.
GBW = 4.5+ (nine miles nonguided) ELR STARTED = 1929 GBW STARTED = January 2012 ELR COMPLETED = July 1934 (5/6 years) GBW COMPLETED = Unfinished as to date (proposed two years to complete) .
Not so long ago the so-called Tyldesley town centre improvements caused disruption through the town.
Now we have endured disruption due to the guided busway with more to follow as Astley Street is to be closed for five months. Rest in peace my dear Tyldesley.
