This will severely curtail my trips to Manchester.
It will add an extra half hour onto the journey.....and when I go to Manchester I usually spend less than a couple of hours looking round.....so that will be it for me.
I understand the reasoning of the company.
The X41 was better used when it started off in Blackburn...there were always a lot of people on it by the time it got to Accrington.
From January, when this change takes place it will be easier for me to pick up the Witchway in Burnley....but again the time constraints will limit my chance to use this route.
I frequently go before the bus pass time, because of how long it takes to get there(don't really want to be there during lunch time and want to get back before I have to share the bus with loud mouthed, unruly children) so it looks unlikely that I will be going.

they only put it on their website on Friday teatime … theres been rumours flying about for a while about this … people have stopped using it after the change to going through ramsbottom .. and they said it would be only 15/20 mins difference .. and people finding it to be half an hour and more difference so they stopped using it and either went to Rawtenstall and caught the witchway as that is every 15 mins or went on the train or drove into Manchester
