Yes 129 is a Scott's route and 56/57 have been operating for about 6 months so guess TFGM have pulled funding.
It's the 56A/57A that's being withdrawn. The 156 will change to run between Middleton and Manchester only with Stagecoach running an evening/Sunday service 129 to replace the Middleton-Hollin section (Stotts continue the Monday-Saturday daytime route). Details mentioned in the GMCA Bus Committee meeting documents.
