Obviously with all the building work going on atm, the routes can change & spinningfields is out of the question for now. However, re-instating the MOSI/castlefield sections of route 2 & the salford central train station section on 3 would be better & the market st bit of the number 1 as these were all quite heavily used stops.

I somewhat doubt it, and can see the three routes being reduced to two in order to save costs as the budget for the Metroshuttle is quite high!

Then again, the route of Metroshuttle 3 is the same as the original route of Metroshuttle 1 but going around the Deansgate loop in the opposite direction due to the reversal of the one way on St Mary's Gate. Route 2 is similar to what it was originally (but extended from Shudehill to Piccadilly)... the route around the uni was changed due to low usage there, and I think the MoSI bit was removed due to traffic issues.
