First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
As I see it, the branding is pointless unless the bus is actually covered in an all-over brand properly advertising the service. The little brand strip, for which you need a microscope to get a brief idea of the route it takes, is totally unnecessary.

I don't know about the 81A. I saw those changes to the 415 and 350 about a year ago, but I'm thinking St. Johns and Stamford Road need a service, so I'm considering the possibility the 81A is being extended to serve these two roads.

I've also heard rumour the 350 is being increased to every 10 minutes throughout the route instead of between Ashton and Hey, in order to cater for the new Academy at the Waterhead terminus.
