hmm stagecoach moving into a First/Rossendale area... interesting... they do like moving into different areas
It'll mean that from next month, Stagecoach will have at least one service in every major town/city in Greater Manchester with the exception of Bury.
Also, looks like the battle between Arriva and Finglands continues on the 19, be it Finglands taking over tendered journeys from Arriva or extending their service from Sale to the airport via Wythenshawe.
The new registration is for the evening tender award.
Thought it would be a tender given the start date (7th April) appears to be the date for any tender changes at this end of the year.
a lot of tenders start then. e.g. MCTs ex bluebird/jpt routes near oldhamm/ashton
Had a feeling that Finglands's new registration on the 19 would be a tender. Does mean that come April, the 263 will be the only evening service operated from Wythenshawe depot (with the exception of the Sunday evening 18 service) with the 18 (Mon-Sat), 19 and 247 transferring to other operators (MCT, Finglands, Stagecoach).
