I rode it in May as I had a bad feeling it would be withdrawn. My journey was reasonably well used though.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's true. Never really managed to attract the same kind of patronage as the X43 and suspect the last couple of years have probably reduced passengers numbers even more. I think Transdev did try withdrawing it once before it had a reprieve. They had been advising passengers to use the 464 between Accrington and Rawtenstall and switch to the X43.

I would imagine the only issue would be a loss of a service between Edenfield and Ramsbottom via Stubbins. Don't know if Rosso plan on re-routing the 481 to maintain a link between Haslingden, Edenfield and Ramsbottom or if they extend the B1 from Ramsbottom or if TfGM will step in with a partial replacement service.

Meanwhile, over in Yorkshire, Transdev are stepping in to replace a withdrawn service, taking over the X98/X99 between Wetherby and Leeds from First Bus from 3rd October.
