Oldham TfGM Website Disclaimer Notice 2026

Transport for Greater Manchester has quietly added a blanket legal disclaimer to its website, warning visitors that none of the travel, timetable or project information it hosts is guaranteed to be accurate or fit for any particular use. The notice, dated 2026, appeared without fanfare but carries clear weight for Oldham residents who rely on the site to plan journeys, check service changes or track the progress of local transport schemes.

The wording states that although TfGM says it has 'made every effort' to keep content correct, it offers no express or implied warranty and accepts no liability if the details let a user down. That means someone who misses a hospital appointment, job interview or college class after acting on information found on the site would have little legal comeback against the authority.

The same clause sweeps in every external link the site carries, from live departure boards to borough council updates. TfGM says it is 'not responsible' for the accuracy of those third-party pages either, even though they are often presented as part of the official journey-planning toolkit.

No specific Oldham routes, stops or projects are singled out, and the notice gives no new figures on delays, budgets or penalties. It simply shifts risk from the transport body to the passenger, a move that could matter most to people who depend on buses and trams because they have no car or mobile data to double-check elsewhere.

The change leaves riders in a bind: trust the site and hope it is right, or find another source before setting out. Until TfGM tightens its data checks or offers stronger guarantees, the small print now says the commuter carries the can.
