Standedge Standedge is a sparsely populated area, although it does have two former public houses - the Carriage House and the Great Western - within a few hundred metres of each other on the A62 road. There are two reservoirs and pathways for hikers. Standedge can be accessed by bus on the 184 service between Huddersfield and Manchester via Oldham. The service is run by First Greater Manchester and there are bus stops on each side of the road near the summit of Standedge (at the crossing of the Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway). The buses are hourly Monday to Saturday daytime and run every two hours on Sunday daytimes.
