00:00So we're here at Wigan Bus Station. It's a very big day for the B Network. It's the
00:07first full day of service for the 615, the first brand new B Network bus route. We're
00:14going to be talking to passengers this morning who are going to be taking the bus from Stand
00:17U behind me over to Middlebrook Retail Park to see what the new service will do for them.
00:24It should be good because you can't get to it, you know, otherwise, unless you've got
00:29a car. It would be a fantastic business opportunity
00:32to link Wigan Town Centre with Middlebrook Retail Park and beyond.
00:36And I think Blandon's here, right?
00:47Alright, so we're on our way, we're on the 615, the first brand new B Network bus service.
00:52It's a miserable day, but we have picks of a good few passengers and we're about to pick
00:55up another one just now. I'm sure for the people who work at the Retail
00:59Park and they live in Wigan, this could definitely be a very attractive option for them.
01:04I love it, yeah. I don't drive, so it's perfect.
01:12So we just hopped off the 615 at Middlebrook Retail Park and bobbed over to Bolton Wanderers
01:17Stadium. So it's clear speaking to passengers this morning that bringing buses back on the
01:22local control with the B Network is an absolute winner.
