"Revised timetable proposed where the Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening
journeys are withdrawn due to high cost per passenger following retender"

So what happens to those who work at the Trafford Centre in the evenings and rely on getting the bus home?

TfGM's argument is that you could get a 18/23/25/247 to Nags Head and change with a 15 for Davyhulme Road, The 247 for other parts of Flixton and direct to Altrincham, Travel on the 18/23 for Urmston and additionally 25 for Stretford and changing onto a 263 for the remainder of the route.

Unfortunately with both Arriva's loss of tender to the 245, the route change and revert of the 245 and cancellationoof their 18 and ML1 services it is not only disrupted services during the evening but also only helped to transfer customers onto either multi-model or Metrolink tickets if they haven't started driving.
