It makes sense given the staff canteen is at Southern Cemetery, although I'd have thought Ashton would have operated it. |

An Ashton driver hinted to me sometime ago that they would probably be getting the 168/9 and the 7 but it's certainly not happened. Any reason why Hyde rd is loosing more work? |

Will be interesting to see if the full 7 day service ends up with Sharston or whether Hyde Road retain the Sunday journeys and the Sunday evening workings as I believe they interwork with other stuff. |

The aforementioned former colleague said some Magic Work would be going the other way. There's also been suggestion of some short 192s going back to HE, but I don't know how much truth there is in that. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Looking at the new timetables for the 340, 406 and 425, it would appear that the 340 will interwork with the 425 during evenings and the 406 during Sunday daytime period, which I'm guessing would mean the 406 transferring from Middleton depot to Ashton depot, while 425 is also operated by Ashton depot. https://tis-kml-stagecoach.s3.amazonaws....JAO340.pdf https://tis-kml-stagecoach.s3.amazonaws....JAO406.pdf https://tis-kml-stagecoach.s3.amazonaws....JAO425.pdf |
