RE: Greater Manchester Buses on Dereg Day 1986 vs Apr 2020 Network
The main route though was the 264 which ran through to Victoria (baring in mind this is pre-Metrolink days when there was no real direct link to Victoria from Altrincham). |

No problems Metroline anytime, the next series of routes is purely chilling 95% of the routes have been severely cut or changed and with about 50% of the original service area not replaced you might have guessed it, the Next Series of Numbers is 300 - 399. |

RE: Greater Manchester Buses on Dereg Day 1986 vs Apr 2020 Network
Once again if you see something wrong with these comprassions list please let me know so I can fix the errors. Today we explore the 300 - 399 series which took passengers all around Tameside and Stockport, it even taken them on scenic rambles out towards Derbyshire and beyond. They connected the mazes off estates and linked the commuter routes together. they took people to hospitals for visiting and appointments. Today the network is looking more like a preschool has designed it and you will be very lucky to have scenic ramble of some of the former scenic rambles routes and the local estates around Stockport and Tameside now have rabbit warren of Fresh air routes and no decent terminal points. Which routes would you like to see back and do you agree that Deregulation has had bad impact on Stockport and Tameside Alone after comparing both networks 300 | Wilmslow - Wythenshawe Hospital via Airport | Partly Replaced by 312, 368 301 | Stockport -

RE: Greater Manchester Buses on Dereg Day 1986 vs Apr 2020 Network
The 362 is the present 352. Interesting history with these routes over the years. They were extended to Chorley, then Preston, then reduced back to Chorley before Arriva split and simplifies them to the present day arrangement. |

Thank St Helens Rider, I hope you enjoying theses comprassions I'm doing and Where I leave the modern day replacement blank if because they are cross boundary routes and I'm not familiar with them. I will be taking a little break with theses and the next ones might be released next weekend as we move into 400-499 series of routes. |

RE: Greater Manchester Buses on Dereg Day 1986 vs Apr 2020 Network
Today will be exploring the 400 - 499 series of routes that GM Buses Introduced on 26th October 1986 and will be comparing the network against the network that is currently operating as of April 2020. We discover that this series of routes have pretty much been torn apart since it was first it introduced on 26th October 1986, we found the core problems as to why bus travel is falling in North Manchester due to excessive cuts and changes to the services that once resident could get direct service might now have to get several services to their final destination and we discover that we have had at least 6 routes completely abandoned and a few routes merged together. As with all theses routes series comprassions I have posted which routes do you miss and do you fully believe that when regulation of bus services happen again do you think TFGM should be restoring the 1986 routes to simplify the network or does the network need a complete rewrite when TFGM regalate the buses again. 400 | Bolton - Stockport via Oldham | Partly Replaced by 471, 409, 347, 206, 203 401 | Wigan - Oldham via Middleton | Partly Replaced by 7, 559, 7, 471, 163, 59 402 | Warrington - Bolton via Leigh | Partly Replaced by 22/360, 34, 582 403 | Bolton - Leeds via Rochdale | 404 | Sholver - Middleton via Chadderton Hall | Partly Replaced by 82/83, 402. 149, 59 405 | Sholver - Limeside Lime Green Road via Chapel Road | Partly Replaced by 82/83, 183, 149, 76, 183 406 | Sholver - Limeside Lime Green Road via Elm Rd | Partly Replaced by 82/83, 183 408 | Stalybridge - Oldham via Hurst | Partly Replaced by 348, 231, 425 409 | Rochdale - Ashton via Oldham | Unchanged 410 | Turks Head - Ashton via Oldham | Merged with 409 411 | Shaw - Oldham via Buckstones | Fully replaced by 408 412 | Derker - Middleton via Royton | Partly Replaced by 402, 59 415 | Oldham - Middleton via Alkrington | Unchanged 419 | Woodhouses - Failsworth via Pole Lane | Partly Replaced by 159, 83, 159 421 | Moston - Fitton Hill via Werneth | Partly Replaced by 81, 415, 426 422 | Oldham - South Chadderton via Chamber Rd | Partly replaced by 183, 149, 81 (The Long Ln to Butterworth Lane loop have been severed by the M60 Construction. 425 | Holts Estate Course View - Oldham via Park Road Loop | Partly replaced by 425 426 | Holts Estate Course View - Oldham via Glodwick Loop | Partly Replaced by 425 427 | Hollinwood - Diggle via Uppermill | Partly Replaced by 84, 350, 356, 428 | Ashton - Moston Ferranti Works via Garden Suburbs | Partly Replaced by 409, 396, 84, 181 431 | Rochdale Circular via Deeplish | Partly Replaced by 6, R7, 17 432 | Rochdale - Sudden via Ashfield Valley | Abandoned 433 | Rochdale Circular via Turf Hill | Partly Replaced by R7, 409 (Deeplish is no longer served) 434 | Rochdale Circular via Turf Hill | Partly Replaced by 409, R7 (Deeplish is no longer served) 435 | Rochdale - Buckstones via High Crompton | Unchanged 436 | Rochdale Circular via Kirkholt | Partly Replaced by 6, R7, 17 437 | Rochdale Circular via Kirkholt | Partly Replaced by 17, R7, 6 438 | Rochdale - Daniel Fold via Spotland | Partly Replaced by 467 (Daniel Fold no longer served) 439 | Rochdale Stn - Lane Head | Abandoned 440 | Rochdale Stn - Syke Chapel via Fieldhouse Mill | Partly Replaced by 471, R13, R1 443 | Rochdale - Castleton Chesham Drive | Abandoned 447 | Rochdale - Wallbank via Healey | Fully replaced by R13 449 | Rochdale - Wardle via Low Hill | Fully replaced by 456 450 | Rochdale - Littleborough via Hollingworth Lake | Partly Replaced by 457, 458, 457 451 | Rochdale - Peppermint bridge via Milnrow | Partly Replaced by 58.

It would be very appreciated. |

RE: Greater Manchester Buses on Dereg Day 1986 vs Apr 2020 Network
The 402 is part replaced by the 582, 34, 360/22 although none of these routes are Express these days. A link of this nature could work now if the will was there as it appears to be a very useful link. |

Yes I totally agree with you that it would be good to reintroduce this service and it could be operated by Warrington Buses to provide some buses for the 715 tender they gained |
