This service was former 486 Bury – Radcliffe, re-numbered and extended via Whitefield, Prestwich to Simister in July 2015 to provide a 30min frequency between Prestwich and Simister. This revision was intended to improve reliability on service 90 by combining the operation of the services and using the spare time available on service 91. This has not proven to be successful and thus service curtailed back to operate Bury-Radcliffe only. Average of less than one pax/trip affected.
