Other interesting news is that from the same date as the changes to 245 is that the daily evening ML1 is being withdrawn due to a combination of lack of patronage and TfGM not wanting to fund the service anymore and any passengers wanting to get the Tram will be able to use their tickets on 18 & 245 but only when ML1 isn't running

245 will only be running to MediaCity in the same way as the X50 does. Will require a walk across the bridge over the Ship Canal.

ML1 is interesting news, also slightly inconvenient for Metrolink passengers, as it'll mean a walk from the tram stop to the Stretford Mall. Looking at the Traveline website, the last ML1 from Stretford is 1750 daily, returning from Trafford Centre at 1815 Mon-Sat and 1805 Suns. Make sense to allow Metrolink passengers on the 18, as it's a fast route between Sretford and the Trafford Centre. May increase the calls for the Metrolink to extend to the Trafford Centre.
