£2m plan for buses between Salford Quays and city centre

The X50, which runs between Manchester and the Trafford Centre, would be diverted to include stops along Ordsall Lane and a loop to Salford Quays under plans by Salford council and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to improve public transport.

Salford council said the lack of bus routes on the road has been a ‘long standing issue’ for the area, which has a growing population and plans in the pipeline for hundreds more homes in schemes such as the Salford Soapworks redevelopment.

The council has agreed to pump in £2m to help get the extended service up and running, with the money gathered from agreements with developers working around Salford.
