As route 42 from East Didsbury to Nth Manchester Hospital will be a different route from the traditional Stagecoach route 42 from Stockport to Piccadilly, should First eventually give their route a new number?

i would think this decision would be for it to stay the same as the greater part and patronage of the route town - dids has been numbered 42 since corporation days so more people will see a 42 and know where its going if you introduce a new number they wont know the bus unless they are clued up like us on here eg more people know the 42 goes down wilmslow road than a say 157 or a 197 if you get what i mean hopefully a lot of students who study/live in the uni area will be maybe be on placements at nmgh and other parts on the new route i athink this is what first is aiming for like stagecoach did with the 50 to media city
