I remember when I was a kid that the 149 was a Bee Line service (early-mid 90s) and that is used to run all the way to Heald Green, although I'm not sure what route it took south of Manchester. I think when the service was curtailed (which I think was pre-GMN), it was partly replaced by a 249.
Also remember it running via Hollins Road (present 180/184 route) between Hollinwood and Oldham. The re-routing via Chamber Road and Coalshaw Green was made after the 422 was withdrawn, which would have been after Stotts pulled out of local services in Oldham in the late 90s.
Thanks SF07, that's exactly what I was looking for
Thanks,
Liam Moskwin.
