First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
82/83s seem to be having reliability issues with the traffic at the Manchester St roundabout. Two Sundays in a row while waiting for a bus at Hollinwood, there's been a gap of 25-30 minutes on a 10 minute frequency service.

Also looks like the Sunday daytime interworking between the 59 and 180/184 at Manchester has ended (presumably since the Enviros started on the 180/184), as I caught a 184 to Failsworth then around an hour later caught the same bus with the same driver in Failsworth on the 180 from Manchester. Thankfully, from a drivers point of view, the long 25 minute waits in Manchester will end in a fortnight when the 180/184 increases to every 15 mins Sunday daytime between Mumps and Manchester.

One other thing I noticed today is that some drivers on the 149 is still displaying Holts as its destination, although I'm sure that there is a destination for Alt programmed, which I think displays as 'Oldham and Alt' or 'Oldham and Alt Estate' wth 'and Alt' displayed on the second line.
