Variation Accepted: Operating between Stalybridge Bus Station and Rochdale Bus station given service number 408 effective from 10-Feb-2014. To amend Timetable.

Before anyone jumps to the conclusion I can see they probably will, the 408 originally ran between Stalybridge and Rochdale many moons ago. This is an error that hasn't been changed since then.

The 408 and 413 were extended from Buckstones to Rochdale around 2003 to replace the 57 service, which ran half-hourly from Rochdale to Alt via Milnrow, Bentgate, Newhey, Peppermint Bridge, Buckstones, Shaw, Turf Lane in Heyside and Oldham.

The 408 was extended via Bentgate and the 413 via Peppermint Bridge with both services running via Hursted Road and Kiln Lane in Milnrow. I think the extension was short-lived and both were replaced by the 451.
