Documents for TfGM's Bus Committee meeting next Friday now on-line and it seems that Metrolink has definitely has had an effect on the 181/182 routes, as the 181's Monday-Saturday daytime journeys will be curtailed to run between Shaw and Manchester from early September, along with withdrawal of X82.
Changes mentioned are:
*24 - Re-routed via St Mary's Road and Nuthurst Road and increased to run half-hourly
*27 - Proposed: Re-routed direct via Cromwell Road instead of Langley Road South and Gerald Road, plus re-routed via Blackfriars Road into Manchester instead of Silk Street, Adelphi Street and Chapel Street to improve reliability.
*31 - Proposed: Re-routing Mon-Sat service via Blackfriars Road instead of Deansgate and Bridge Street on journeys out of Manchester plus re-routing via Broad Street instead of Churchill Way in Pendleton. Sunday service also to be re-routed in line with Mon-Sat service.
*63 - Proposed: To improve reliability, Sunday daytime service will be curtailed to run between Manchester and Eccles only, running hourly instead of every 70 mins and re-numbered 33.
*154 - Proposed: To improve reliability, service to be re-routed via Whitefield, Bury New Road and Manchester Road instead of Unsworth, Hollins, Pilsworth and M66 motorway, which will be mostly covered by service 92.
*181 - Mon-Sat daytime service to be curtailed to run between Shaw Wren's Nest and Manchester only. Shaw-Rochdale still provided by service 58 and 182.
*182 - Additional weekday journey at 1935 from Rochdale to Manchester and 2050 from Manchester to Chadderton
*X82 - Service to be withdrawn, after suffering significant drop in passenger numbers following extension of Metrolink to Rochdale.
