Manchester City Centre buses Circa pre deregulation
Manchester City Centre buses Circa pre deregulation
I have recently stumbled across a route guide which seem to date from GM Transport era before Deregulation and I found it very interesting to piece together the destination served from Manchester City Centre and this is the end result. there is still some mistakes in the route listings but for most part they seem correct. however some of routes are incomplete due to the destination guide becoming unreadable towards the end so any help to fill in the blanks and provides the era for theses route would be much appreciated and you will be credited in the edit

One Interesting thing from this amount of Hospitals that there was around Greater Manchester at the time of theses routes operating.

RE: Manchester City Centre buses Circa pre deregulation
Surprised there's no Centreline mentioned (previously service 4,now Free City Bus) as there was now rail link then between Victoria and Piccadilly.

I think the reason why the Centreline 4 does not appear as the guide I was going of only showed Destions tofrom the city centre and I had to play cluedo to establish the route list

32 and 38 both run through to Wigan. Some 38s terminated in Hindley.

Works for me

RE: Manchester City Centre buses Circa pre deregulation
I've just brought a 1975 Lancashire United Transport timetable, mainly as it was the last ever timetable published as an independent company before LUT was sold to GMPTE the following year.

The 38 was a weird one, core service was 2 bph Westhaughton Southfield Drive-Manchester, hourly via Windgates between Westhaughton & Four Lane Ends, but hourly to Westhaughton Birch Avenue, hourly Hindley, 2 hourly Wigan

32 Wigan-Manchester was hourly Wigan-Worsley Court House, 2 hourly Wigan-Manchester, combining with the 39 for an hourly service Atherton-Manchester
