S50 failed simply because the Operator didn't register (or deregister) the service properly - same goes for S48.....and AFAIK, the S49 STILL hasn't been deregistered, and consequently, their services could not be promoted properly.
Extended 201s back into Glossop probably wouldn't work as the journey would simply be too long. As mentioned earlier the 201 is slow and unpunctual as it is, with the 7 mile section from Hyde to Manchester typically taking 45 minutes off-peak

I know you have some ill feeling towards the operator but I always liked the idea. It should have worked better than it did. A culmination of events led to it's downfall, yes some down to the operator some by other parties but you cannot fault his promotion of the service.

Slightly off topic perhaps but what route did the 201 take into Glossop and what route did it take into Ashton? ( I have many photos of stagecoach Tridents and B10Ms from 2000-2003 on 201s in Ashton with destinations set to hattersely).
