Stagecoach, takes-over Bluebird, who's depot is leased.
First, takes-over Finglands, who's depot is leased.
Stagecoach, puts double deckers in Middleton, for service 112 and Schools.
First, puts brand new buses in Rusholme, and registers an extension of service 42 to NMGH.
Stagecoach, registers a Manchester to Farnworth service. (Service 38).
First, lowers it fares in the Wilmslow Road area.
Stagecoach, lowers it fares in the Wilmslow Road area.

So what next ?
First, converts service 42 to double deck ?, using new Enviro400's 33831-33857 ?
Stagecoach, increase its Magic bus operations ?, along Wilmslow Road ?

Don't forget Stagecoach lowering fares to Pendleton and back from the City!
