I deliberately jumped on 210 yesterday so that I could ride an Enviro200-MMC with a sensible 18 not a "misdated" CAT reg. Miaow!

Will 100 terminate at somewhere like Irlam, rather than continue to Warrington ?
Wiil "Cat 5", Warrington - Altrincham still exist, when most of the route is outside GM territory ??

FROM THE CONSULTATION:

A service permit scheme would be in operation for some cross-boundary services, allowing operators from outside the franchised area to run services into Greater Manchester and within Greater Manchester.

Currently, there are 116 services that cross the Greater Manchester boundary. It is
important to allow cross-boundary services to continue to be operated, and indeed
encouraged, allowing bus travel between places outside Greater Manchester and
destinations such as the Regional Centre and Manchester Airport. These services are
important to neighbouring authorities as they enable people living in those places
to reach destinations within Greater Manchester. There are also a small number of
franchised services that would operate outside of Greater Manchester but would
do so there under other powers and arrangements.

Thanks for that information I did think that they wouldn't need to worry unless they wen't within a considerable mileage into the TfGM area, most services are just simple cross boundary and on many most of the mileage is within the neighbour County/Counties, take services between Rochdale and Halifax and Burnley for example, and for that matter services between Warrington and Leigh, its only a matter of about 2-3 miles before they cross back into Warrington Unitary Authority from the middle of Leigh.
