Indeed Mark, they only just got away with Wigan and Bluebird, Before anyone mentions JPT they got these as a growing concern so the monopoly rules dont apply here

RE: First Manchester
Just wondering, following the service changes that have just taken place, which depot is now operating the 93 daytime journeys? I would assume it would be Queens Road now as the service only runs between Manchester and Carr Clough rather than to/from Bury.

It has been suggested that this 'big news' story could involve Arriva, which makes me wonder whether it could be First buying Arriva's Wythenshawe depot, which would allow them to have more of a presence in south Manchester.

No depot sales nothing but a management restructure, and Pioneer will be a satellite depot . That's the announcement

What exactly is a satalite depot and how will I differ to what it currently is/was?

A satalite depot is basically an out-station or sub depot, as some operators call them.

So Pioneer will now just become an extension of Oldham Depot?
