Will be interesting to see as when First did the 33, when they owned Wigan the short workings were run by Wigan, as 33, as they had time to run a trip to Worsley then back to Manchester in-between full journeys, some also terminated at Monton Green. However with traffic building up, unsure if this is still possible or indeed practical, or whether Hyde Road will run some and Wigan other shorts, or Hyde Road run all the extra journeys, Am I correct to think this means FirstGroup will withdraw the 33, or are looking to withdraw it?

This is how FirstGroup have failed time and time again, make a weakness for Stagecoach or Diamond or others to exploit, no long term business view at First, not just in Manchester but in other places too. The only places they do well is were they have a total monopoly on all/most services, everywhere else they struggle.
