Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

[SF07]

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Spotted a training vehicle heading down John Dalton Street towards Salford Central this afternoon with a sign in the front window saying something about 50 route learning, so pretty obvious what was going on there.

Speaking of which, details of Stagecoach's changes now on their website (in case you haven't read the changes on here ). Some changes not listed previous include the 76 moving to stand D (with the 216/231) in Manchester and the 171 re-routed in Clayton, due to the no right turn onto Edge Lane taking effect once Metrolink starts. 171 runs normal route from Newton Heath to North Road then Canberra Road, Eastern by-pass, Scholfield Street, Ashton New Road then via 188 route to Openshaw, while 188 re-routed via North Road and Edge Lane to cover the 171 re-routing.

364 is re-routed in Heaton Norris and 378 re-routed in Lacey Green.

There's also a page on the 50 changes, which is being re-branded as 'CityConnect'. Fares for the route is mentioned with a special day/weekly ticket available between MediaCity and Salford Crescent, priced at £2.50 day and £8 week, so slight increase from the 9.
