Another thing is that if it serves every town/city that stagecoach operate in - that be one hell of a diversion from M60 To Wigan & Back.Unless your source ment it followed the M60 But went through the housing estates & everything (similer to NXWM 11/11A) but using M60 Itself i carnt see it

My friend probably meant following the M60 though he never said anything about Wigan so I'm not sure. Still don't believe it though :p

Well in your post you said "every town/city that stagecoach has a presence in" so im guessing that includes wigan,but using coaches & the PVR Needed i carnt see it

I assume they operate the 76, 15, 255, 142. Do they operate any of the Ashton or Stockport services?

15, 50, 74/76, 142/143, 168, 169, 171, 201, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 250, 253/255, 256, X50. There may be more.

They also operate the 219 and certain early morning and late afternoon 231's as well.
Not sure if they still operate any early morning 216's but they also operate the Friday/Saturday night late 216's and I think the N237 although that may have changed.

TY for the response, interesting that services operate from multiple depot, I don't believe First do that.

Also X57, X58, 197 (shared with Stockport), and 221 (shared with Ashton)

I think they may also still do the occasional 191, though the entire 192 is now Stockport.

I personally don't believe this rumour.
Any thoughts?

Is that every Town / City with-in Greater Manchester or every Town / City with-in the UK ?

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
You gotta love these "reliable" sources for feeding eager beavers snippets of cr4p...

You sure you haven't just made that up yourself?

As the service starts & ends in manchester - would that mean you could use a megarider on it,now that would be great value!

Well First certainly used to and possibly still does.
I know Oldham had some workings on the 350 a few years back, the 408 is Oldham operated but dont Pioneer do evenings?? Oldham also does/did a evening 343 trip and also does/did a 389 which comes off a school.

Yes they do. So on that basis we may as well say they do 90% of Wigan routes

I have seen them on at least 3 occasions covering for broken down 32 buses, since the Wigan acquisition.
