Stagecoach Manchester will launch a new bus service to Manchester Airport this weekend, making transport even easier for both holidaymakers and commuters.

The x30, which launches on Sunday 28th April, will run non-stop via the M60 and M56 from Stockport to Manchester Airport, and will stop at the Airport Interchange and World Freight Terminal.

The new x30 will partially replace the existing 330 service which runs from Ashton to Manchester Airport. The 330 will continue to run from Ashton to Stockport, and the x30 will now travel from Stockport to the Airport.

The existing 103 service also continues to run from Manchester Piccadilly to the Airport, and has now been extended through to the World Freight Terminal. Combined, the x30 and the 103 services will provide up to four buses an hour between the World Freight Terminal and the main Airport.

The new route has been designed to include earlier journeys, to tie in with shift patterns for staff of Manchester Airport, with these services starting as early 0415 Monday to Saturday and 0635 on Sundays [SEVEN DAYS A WEEK / MONDAY TO FRIDAY] as well as being a more convenient early morning link for holidaymakers.

Stagecoach Manchester managing director, Elisabeth Tasker, said:

“It is crucial our services are designed with the people who rely and use them regularly in mind. We wanted to introduce the new x30 service, and extend the existing 103 service, to ensure that both holiday makers and staff travelling to the airport are provided with practical and affordable transport links at hours convenient to them.”
