Stotts have posted on Twitter the details of the temporary timetables for their new and amended services in Tameside and Oldham that started this week, although they are missing details of the 402. Bustimes.org have it listed as being a normal timetable, running hourly between Derker and Oozewood.

41A: Every two hours Monday-Saturday daytime (listed as 41A, presumably due to Stagecoach re-numbering to 41A, to avoid confusion with service 41 between Middleton and Manchester)
129: Every two hours Monday-Saturday daytime
151: Every hour between Failsworth Tesco and NMGH
159: Every two hours Monday-Saturday daytime
335: Every two hours Monday-Saturday daytime
339: Every two hours Monday-Saturday daytime
343: Every hour Monday-Saturday daytime (claims the 340 is still running, despite TfGM saying it has been withdrawn)

Am I missing something? Bank holiday Friday?

Also known as Good Friday

Googled it.....Normally the early May bank holiday falls on the first Monday of May. But in 2020 it won't be on May 4, it will be on Friday 8. The Government announced the change of date in June to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

Probably because of the Coronavirus some of the bigger commemorations will be moved to VJ day in August which marks the end of WWII.

Llandudno festival is usually over Mayday weekend. There was quite a bit of uproar when it was announced the bank holiday would be on a Friday this year. Many people book their holidays and time off work as soon as they get home from the event for the next year. By the time it was announced many people had already booked.
