I am surprised Stagecoach aren't jumping on the 58 or 415 given First are withdrawing them services. Would be a good way to get into Oldham.

Good to see they are winning tenders as well for the evening work (unless they are taking it on commercially). It's weird seeing Stagecoach winning tenders in Manchester as the independents are normally cheaper.

It will be the Evening as a replacement for 49 as it been cut as 41 is taking over.

I don`t think Stagecoach want Oldham as they could take it very easy as First would allow them in I feel but I feel it going to be MCT or even CT group going for Oldham as a new unit who will make the move. But I know they would go for Oldham road or 409 routes
