Today’s winner on #AYearOfBuses links the Greater Manchester town of Altrincham with one of the UK’s largest indoor shopping centres.
Arriva’s route 245 runs from the affluent suburb of Altrincham, in Trafford, Greater Manchester, with Sale, Stretford and the Trafford Centre. Running every 30 mins, it runs roughly parallel with the Metrolink between Altrincham and Stretford, before trailing off to the Trafford Centre.
Previously, the 245 was extended to link Salford Quays with the Trafford Centre, though this was eventually withdrawn.
