Chorley

A6/ Service 125 corridor bus stop review and bus priority

Location: Along the 125 bus route: Phase 1 - Adlington to Chorley and Phase 2 - Chorley to Preston, Walton Summit

Proposals:

We are making bus stop improvements, including reviewing locations and making them accessible for all with raised kerbs, boarding points, better shelters (where applicable) and bus stop boxes and/or restrictions to protect the bus stops from parked cars.

The proposals are in 2 phases

  • Phase 1 - Adlington to Chorley and
  • Phase 2 - Chorley to Preston including Walton Summit

Progress: Adlington to Chorley

We carried out formal consultation on bus stops and advertised the associated Traffic Regulation Orders from 16/01/2024 to 13/02/2024.  We did receive an objection to the plans for one of the bus stop and the proposals will therefore be put to the Cabinet for a decision at its meeting on 11 April 2024.  The Cabinet report will be available to view on the Lancashire County Council web page in the week before the meeting.

Subject to Cabinet approval, delivery of the proposals would be planned for Summer through to Autumn 2024.

Phase 2: Chorley to Preston:

We will confirm formal advertising and Traffic Regulation Order consultation dates for the majority of Phase 2 around May / June 2024. However, we are expecting to begin advertising for the orders for the Walton Summit part of Phase 2 from 19th April 2024 

Proposed delivery would be between January and March 2025.
