Road Closures – Effective from Monday 10th March

As you will already be aware, with effect from Monday 10th March 2025, for at least four weeks, Longhurst Lane in Mellor will be completely closed to all traffic, between its junction with Knowle Road and just beyond The Devonshire Arms. The closure is for gas main replacement work, being carried out by Cadent. This means that the bus turning circle adjacent to The Devonshire Arms cannot be accessed. Following protracted discussions between Cadent, officers from Stockport MBC and ourselves, we have found an alternative safe method to enable buses to turn on Longhurst Lane at the junction with Highfield Road. 

Therefore, for the duration of the works, buses will only operate from Highfield Lane, Mellor. This includes service 802 to and from Marple Hall School 804 and 819 to and from Harrytown School. The nearest bus stops for pupils are located is located at Highfield Lane. TfGM apologises for the inconvenience caused by these works, but this is completely out of our hands.

Service 802 to Marple Hall will depart Highfield Lane at 07:57

Service 804 to Harrytown will depart Highfield Lane at 08:14
