It is a 20 minute service with extra peak-time journeys during schooldays, increasing it to 10 minutes. Last bus is 1728 from Middleton and 1759 from Shudehill http://www.tfgm.com/journey_planning/RouteMaps/17.pdf |

JPT do love the 17 don't they? I see the Night Bus finished. Hopefully they will be successful this time round, although numbering it the 17 and duplicating a current route seems risky. Wouldn't it have been easier to change the number and operate it from Piccadilly/Stevenson Sq/Albert Sq with a different number to avoid retaliation from First? |

If they had re-routed the 17 into Piccadilly Gardens, then it would have stepped on the toes of First's 162/163 service. I wouldn't be surprised if JPT withdraw the 17 service again by the start of 2014. |

I think the 17 is easy pickings for them, they loose a couple of tenders of have a few spare buses so register on the 17 for a few months. Absolute bonkers. I wonder how long before trips start being missed. Noticed a couple of their buses on the 217/218 over weekend and they look in a very poor condition. |

RE: JPT Bus Company
