And you know better than the people who have been using buses in and around Wigan for the last 40 years do you?

GM has had a comprehensive numbering system to avoid confusion and duplication for more than a generation, albeit there are some unneccessary examples dotted around the county - such as First's 19. This is just a cynical ploy by Stagecoach to divide and rule as they try to generate as much uncertainty as possible leading up to any public consultation on Franchising.
It would be interesting to see what happens if TFGM refuse to renumber SUBSIDISED service 601 to 10A. Of course, in reality they won't.
Still, on the plus side, the service to Bolton is numbered 7, not 8 (lol)
