As for 408s looking at the duty sheets at Oldham Depot while I was in there last night it does seem that Oldham Depot are going to continue to operate the service

That'll explain the timetable changes for the early morning journeys, with some journeys starting at Middleton or Mills Hill instead of Oldham. With the exceptions of the 82 night bus and the Boxing Day 82 and 184 services, it'll be the first time that Queens Road depot have operated a service to Oldham since the 52. I'm guessing the evening and Sunday 64 service will still be operated by Dukinfield depot.

Makes sense for the 162 to be operated by Bury depot given that the journeys will interwork with the 163.
