The 32 is to be cut completely on the next round of service changes and the 34 off peak allocation will reduced to 5 buses running half hourly.

That won't surprise me about 32 if its true Ant as the loading on the route aren't excactlly good off-peak whenever I've seen the route.

Looks like both services are victims of Vantage. Definitely wasn't the best idea curtailing the 32 which should really still run into the City Centre. A better idea for the 34 would be for it to run Wigan - Ashton - Leigh - Manchester so as to provide through links of which Vantage doesn't.

Hi
How do you find new/variations/cancellations on VOSA now?
Cheers

I can confirm that the 32 will be withdrawn from 28 January, along with at least 50 other Stagecoach service changes in the county and a similar number changed by other Operators combined.

Hi
Where are these changes listed?

Wed 07th Dec obs...........
================
Manchester:
10613 branded route X50/250
10616 branded route X50/250
10617 branded route X50/250 , Operating on route 201
19167 with xmas bulb style lit up side advert ('Lanterns' Chester Zoo)

ex Oxford AD E40H's
12015 on route 256
12025 on route 250
12026 on route 256

Have heard the 42 and 50 are to swap depots in the next round of changes
but don't really know if there's any truth in it, I suspect not given the interworking of the 42/43 wouldn't work with the 43/50 at all!

Stagecoach currently reporting of delays of upto 35mins or maybe more now on 330s heading towards Airport Cargo Centre due to an RTC on M56 J6.

M60 traffic backed up to Ashton with heavy traffic being reported through Bredbury as traffic tries to avoid M60.

Also due to the same incident heavy traffic is causing delays to all services using Princess Road/Parkway this morning.

Regarding the 50 and 42 I have heard nothing about us swapping routes around


If any interest to people I am Working On route videos etc

I think 19233 (or similar number wise) also has a lit side advert.

The ex Oxford hybrids seem to run anything and everything on the Trafford side of the city. Very rarely seen on the east side...even the 50s

After a very very long wait at Station Rd,Cheadle Hulme for an X57 at lunch time today, 12023 arrived .First one I've had a ride on. Was good
