The 18:15 300 also left the same way and went via Walkden according to the ticketer reasoning given for the routing was inadequate seating.

As for bigger buses at weekends apparently Atherton have been told their not allowed to and only the extra working to cater for the additional 300 workings on Saturdays is a bigger bus.

What sort of profit driven company would give advise which would reduce the amount of revenue they can take. I can understand the point of trying not to have bigger buses out all day but if you know the busy trips, just use the bigger buses for them trips. As long as no where is being put at a major disadvantage, there is no reason why bigger buses can't and shouldn't be used when demand exceeds supply.
