Stagecoach Manchester extended their 50 service to Media City as of 2nd September, absorbing the TfGM 9 route. Could it be that Stagecoach are getting a taste of the Salford area ready to make a move regarding that corridor? If Wigan is said to be for sale, wouldn't that be an excellent start to the North Manchester area? Hmm, interesting...

Not really. The 50 was extended because there is a strong business case for it, and Stagecoach Manchester have had a lot of feedback from passengers wanting a through service.
TfGM are only too happy for it to happen as well as its one less route for them to subsidise.

Nothing to Stagecoach getting massively expansionist, just adapting to service new markets as they've developed.
