i think 217 operated near enough it curr route mcr - ashton

i think it used to be
230 mcr - tesco droylsden every 30 mins( then ext to ashton via curr 168/9 route) at odd times
231 mcr - littlesmoss peak hours i think
232/3 mcr - ash - moss - staly - duki - mcr every half hour combined one via brushes est the other via carrbrook
234/5 mcr - duki - staly - moss - ash - mcr every half hour combined one via brushes est the other via carrbrook
233/235 operated hourly on sundays bet tameside h - town (todays 231 route)

then 232-5 ashton mossley stalybridge section and 220/222 stalybridge - mcr routes was replaced with 217/8
leaving
231 extended from littlemoss to ashton via tameside h
217/8 extended
221 left to peak hour journeys

hope this helps
