Refreshed livery Plaxton Centro 2619 on the 130 if anyone wants it.

1320 Macc - Man Picc
1522 Man Picc - Macc

Couple of upcoming changes folks:

The 84 is having the timetable revised again, seems to have had a few changes lately.

From october 28th the 130 is running macc - east didsbury only. No more city centre option, suppose with there being buses every 10 mins or so from parrs wood is their reason.

Still not good, yet more arriva cutbacks. The future doesn't look too rosy for arriva I think.

Can't say I didn't predict the 130 change... They can't rival with Stagecoach unless they run more than an hourly bus. This change should make it more reliable and will still let most people use it, so not a huge loss.

Probably a compromise as there was rumours it was getting withdrawn. That'll probably be the next change knowing Arriva.

Indeed, thankfully though there's loads of buses that run into picc gardens from parts wood.

So at least people can still connect at east didsbury.
