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 improving bus stops by reviewing their locations and making them accessible for everyone.  This includes adding raised kerbs, boarding points, better shelters (where applicable), and bus stop boxes and/or restrictions to prevent cars from parking at the bus stops. 

The proposals are divided into two phases

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

Progress: 

Phase 1:  Adlington to Chorley

  • Lancashire County Council's Cabinet approved the proposals for several Phase 1 bus stops at their meeting on 11th April 2024. Work began on delivering the improved bus stops in July 2024. 
  • Our Highways teams have been working incrementally along the route and 13 bus stops will have already been completed by the end of September 2024. 
  • Additional bus stops between Adlington and Chorley are still pending formal consultation. We will add details of Traffic Regulation Orders when the consultation begins.  

Phase 2: Chorley to Preston:

  • Formal advertising and Traffic Regulation Order consultation for the majority of Phase 2 bus stops is expected to be around January 2025. Dates will be confirmed as soon as they are available. 
  • Phase 2 also includes Walton Summit (Walton Summit Road, Brierley Road and Tramway Lane). The formal consultation process for these locations was held between the 18th April and 20th May 2024 with no objections received.  Works on the ground will be started in the next few months.
