NEW information boards which will make life easier for bus passengers are being installed at Leigh Bus Station.

The electronic displays have been given the thumbs-up by Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority after successful trials.

Councillor John Hilton, Leigh area spokesman for GMPTA, said: "This is yet another boost for passengers using Leigh Bus Station. The Authority is working hard to improve information about public transport services."

The new boards will cost £15,000.
