81A will be Sunday nights only
64 I'm guessing Sunday as MCT have mon-sat nights
408 once again Sundays for same reason
407 from stotts (I expected MCT to win this tbh)
406 from First ( I expected MCT to have grouped that with the 402)
70 from Arrival
348 from First (Pioneer depot will probably close due to all their losses moving staff to Oldham)
232 from First

I wouldn't jump to conclusions regarding Pioneer depot.
The 348 is mainly commercial so I suspect it's either evening or early morning or possibly Sunday journeys. Don't forget Pioneer drivers are paid less than Oldham depot so any merger at Oldham would be costly for First.

The 232 isn't technically a tender loss for First. It's a new evening service replacing a couple of existing services which are for the chop. Will be interesting to see what Stagecoach use on this service and could explain the extra Solos at AZ.

Quite surprised at Stotts loosing the 407, but given there recent tender gain with the 151 I'm sure they are not to bothered. I'm told they have won the Saturday 343 tender too.
