There have been plenty of occasions where the likes of Bee Line (under UTI ownership, before Drawlane/Arriva), Pennine Blue, Stuarts, UK North & Dennis' have competed against GMB/GMBS/ Stagecoach in and around Tameside and there were no fare reductions for the majority of passengers. Just two buses running together (both earlier than registered) and then up to 29 minutes wait. In fact Bee Line and Stuarts both charged more.

The spat between Stagecoach and Dennis's saw very low fares along Ashton new/old road in the final few years before the takeover as did the 330/347.

Speedwells 'S' services saw flat fares introduced with First bringing in the Tameside day ticket.

Maynes also had for a while a droylsden return special latterly as well.
