The bus company has since tweeted the service has returned to normal.
Waynflete Road is the location of a park, Barton Leisure Centre and two schools.
Ian Griffiths, a team leader at the leisure centre, said he and other staff had not heard anything and did not believe the incident was near their end of the road.
