RE: First Manchester
Timetables for the 82/83 are now on TfGM website. The other changes to First services in Oldham can be seen on the MyTFGM Journey Planner.

Looking at the timetables (links in the service numbers):

80

• Buses will depart 5 minutes later from Oldham and 6 minutes earlier from Holts compared to existing 81A service.
• Service will run a loop around Holts Estate, meaning faster journeys to Oldham.
• Service finishes around an hour earlier from Oldham at 1843, while last weekday journey from Holts is later at 1840.
  

81

• Half-hourly service
• Running at same times as 81A from Manchester to Oldham, while buses from Oldham will depart at 21 and 51.
• Journeys that start from Moston are extended to start from Oldham.
• Last buses: From Oldham at 1751 and from Manchester at 1852 (1847 Saturdays)
• Sunday service runs 10 minutes earlier from Oldham. Unchanged departure times from Manchester.

• Buses from Sholver will continue to Manchester from 1857 onwards.
• Last two Monday-Saturday journeys from Manchester will terminate at Oldham bus station instead of Mumps.
  

84

• Broadly a similar timetable between Grotton and Manchester compared to existing 180/184 timetable
• Service to/from Uppermill will be every 30 minutes at same times to 184 journeys that start/terminate at Uppermill.
• The 2250 Monday-Saturday journey from Manchester will extend from Grotton to Uppermill.

• Sunday service remains same as existing 180/184 Sunday service, except that all existing 180 journeys will start/terminate at Grotton.
• Sunday journeys to/from Huddersfield run as 84 not as 184.
  

180 / 184
