Minor timetable revisons on 7, 11, 15, 22, 23, 23A, 43, 84, 86, 101, 104, 105, 109, 111, 142N, 168, 169, 171, 191, 192, 197, 201, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 217, 219, 221, 231, 236, 237, 250, 256, 308, 309, 312, 313, 317, 322, 327, 346, 347, 370, 374, 375, 378, X57.

These are generally minor adjustments to peak and/or intermediate timings with some timing points revised or removed.

Other changes are:

7 Additional positioning trips introduced.
15 0655 from Davyhulme extended to start at Flixton.
41 Renumbered X41 and converted to limited stops.
50 Extended to Media City via the service 9 route.
76 Monday to Saturday daytime service improved to operate every 10 minutes.
86 Diversion via Stretford Road made officially permanent (being run as a diversion until then).
101 Ruddpark Road journeys to strart at Simonsway.
104 Journeys from Manchester will no longer serve the Forum Centre.
109 Extra running time added due to Metrolink works.
111 Moved to stand J at Piccadilly.
142 Additional journeys introduced between 0700 and 0800.
168 0628 from Belle Vue to Ashton withdrawn.
169 0550 from Southern Cemetery extended to Ashton. Sunday daytime tender awarded from JPT.
171 No longer serves Millgate Lane.
192 Aquinas College extras replaced by new college service 792.
197 Burnage HS journey renumbered 797.
216 Frequency reduced.
231 0803 from Piccadilly extended to Ashton, 0839 from Littlemoss withdrawn. Sunday daytime "shorts" extended to Ashton.
250 Additional morning journey.
253 Extended to start at Partington.
309/310 Route changed in Edgeley to run via Grenville Street instead of Chatham Street and York Street. 0653 from Boundary Bridge (309) extended back to start at Stockport.

So Stagecoach have taken the Sunday daytime 169 off Jpt. That's great news as I can now use my megarider on a Sunday instead of paying £1.90 or catching a 231 which takes twice as long, just a pity Stagecoach didn't get the 169 evening tender as well
Will HE be operating it as during the week or could AZ be doing it?

As for the 216, is the frequency reduced in preparation for the metrolink?
