Daily commuters have been encouraged to use the Stagecoach buses running between Stalybridge and Manchester for the time being, and several services that were due to depart from the site will either be diverted or cancelled.
Bus services are continuing to operate normally. However, some routes have been affected and are set to be diverted in order to minimise disruption during rush-hour.
The explosion is understood to have been carried out by 22-year-old Salman Abedi at the entrance to Manchester Arena using an improvised explosive device on Monday night following an Ariana Grande concert. The youngest victim is reportedly eight years old.
