SEVEN new and improved bus services that have won more than £1.7 million Government funding include two serving Oldham.

Public transport users across Greater Manchester will benefit after transport chiefs were awarded the cash from the Government’s Kickstart programme.

It includes £401,300 for a new Rochdale – Oldham - Ashton - Stockport Orbital service and £151,905 for an enhanced Service 76 from Oldham to Manchester via Failsworth.
