A popular bus service has been rescued days before it was due to be scrapped.
The Red Express/X41 service, which is used by people living in Ramsbottom and East Lancashire travelling into Manchester, was set to end on Sunday after its operator claimed it was 'no longer sustainable'.
Transdev said low passenger numbers meant the service, as well as the Red 4 service which links Ramsbottom to Bury , were making a combined annual loss of £300,000.
The decision incensed bus users, thousands
