The 18 is also Monday-Saturday evenings only. Would also imagine that since MCT have got the 307, then the 308 will also be included (just not mentioned in the registration)

Will MCT gain the Sunday 84s or are these staying with Arriva? I hope the latter tbh!


RE: Manchester Community Transport - jimbo - 03/03/2013 22:58

VOSA's registration has MCT running the Mon-Sat evening service on the 84. All Sunday journeys on the 84 are operated by Stagecoach.
