That's now been updated to include some replacement bus timetables. Also a mention of rail tickets being accepted on Arriva buses and Yorkshire Tiger buses. Although, no mention of ticket acceptance on Metrolink.
The only flaw about the information regarding ordinary bus services is that it doesn't list which parallel services rail tickets are valid.

Logically it should be any reasonable route so, for instance, Wilmslow to East Didsbury tickets should be accepted on the 130 route. However, unless they give all bus drivers maps of the Northern network I imagine a number wouldn't know what reasonable routes are.

It would have made more sense to have listed reasonable routes and route numbers rather than just forwarding people onto the Arriva Bus site. In my area, the 10/10A are direct parallel routes between St Helens and Liverpool, although in daytime on the strike day, this is one of the very few routes to have 2 trains per hour, so it is only a reduction of 1 train.
319361 made it's first run in service today since repaint and mods, it worked the 1716 Lime St to Preston.
