There is a need for management to acommodate the passengers on the 142/143 routes whilst note preventing those who rely upon travelling further out from Manchester / Wilmslow corridor on the 41/42(a/b/c)/43 from being able to board when the 142/143 is only a minute or so behind.

Stagecoach has previously used the financial incentives including £1 fares and cheap weekly/monthly tickets for the "Magic" brand and having express service such as the X41 and X57 that ran limited stop. Whether Metroline / TfGM consider one of these or a new option only time will tell.

Only tfgm will make the decision it's got nothing to do with metroline
