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

Virtually right although the original 230 ran between Manchester and Tesco Droylsden until around 2003 and was dropped, then for some reason a couple of years later Mayne's registered a new 230 between Manchester and Ashton via the 168/169 route [up Taunton Road], and it was half hourly at peak then one every hour during the day. It was in retaliation for something Stagecoach had done but I can't remember what.

The 231 was similar with two per hour at peak and then one an hour during the day.
