I REMAIN positive about the new busway and will probably use it, although I will never understand the added spend on the 'guided' aspect of it.
My concern is the cycle path and the poor surface already laid in some parts.
I had intended to ride to Leigh on the opening day, but soon realised it was not the opening day for the unfinished path.
As this wasn't advertised as opening I accept this was perhaps my mistake.
The loose, uneven, green gravel surface is not appropriate for (road) bikes and I am sure parents with prams will also struggle.
When I asked about this I was told it was for 'multi-users,' which I accept, but signage and earlier information suggested a cycle path, which it is not.
With all the money spent on this project I would have thought an appropriate cycle path could and still should be laid.
