First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
Changes to the Metroshuttle services from next Sunday (28 June) in conjunction with the disruption to Metrolink tram services due to the St Peter's Square stop closure.

Metroshuttle 1 will run an clockwise circular from Piccadilly station via Portland Street, Peter Street, Deansgate, Victoria station, High Street (for Shudehill Interchange), Church Street and Dale Street to Piccadilly station.

Metroshuttle 2 will run between Shudehill and Piccadilly in both directions via Victoria station, Deansgate, Spinningfields, Deansgate-Castlefield station, Whitworth Street West (for Oxford Road station) and Whitworth Street.

Metroshuttle 3 will run as an enhanced 2 service, running between Piccadilly and Spinningfields via Whitworth Street, MMU and Deansgate.

Will be interesting to see if First run the Metroshuttle Solos on the 2 or if they use bigger vehicles (Streetlites, B7RLEs, B9TLs) on the route, as it will essentially act as the shuttle service between Victoria and Deansgate-Castlefield for Metrolink passengers.
