Apart from the 113, the 33 is/will be Wigan's last bus link to any city although of course there are trains to Manchester but given Northern's recent/current performance, it's hardly the last word in reliability.

RE: Diamond Bus North West
If this is the same one that's based at Atherton then I wonder whether Atherton were covering a duty again on Altrincham locals, I don't know how many Atherton drivers actually know Altrincham routes but I know one of their leading driver's does and has covered the late duties regular in the past.
