THE M61 has now fully reopened after an early crash on the northbound road near Westhoughton, Here is the latest on that crash.

Local bus routes are running as normal.

On the local rail network, Moses Gate, Farnworth and Kearsley stations are closed until October and are served by replacement coaches instead.

There is a reduced service from Bolton to Manchester as part of these works and passengers are advised to check the timetable in advance.
