So Stagecoach have taken the Sunday daytime 169 off Jpt. That's great news as I can now use my megarider on a Sunday instead of paying £1.90 or catching a 231 which takes twice as long, just a pity Stagecoach didn't get the 169 evening tender as well

Will HE be operating it as during the week or could AZ be doing it?
As for the 216, is the frequency reduced in preparation for the metrolink?
Not much time being wasted here then.
I think we knew before the Olympics, the old MAN's were leaving, as well as the Olympians, though I'm quite surprised at how quick everything's going. I wasn't expecting the Olympic buses to return for a week or two yet, then I thought it may have taken another couple of weeks before we started seeing the others depart.
