First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
Some of the weekday and Sunday timetable changes scheduled at end of the month are now on the Traveline Journey Planner, although the 42 is still displaying the old timetable.

Confirmation that the 41 (ex-Finglands) will reduce its frequency between Manchester and Sale to every 20 mins, although a 10 minute frequency between Manchester and West Didsbury will remain during university term times.

The 408 extension to Droylsden via Dukinfield applies to all daily daytime journeys with evening journeys remaining between Shaw and Stalybridge. The Sunday journeys will be re-timed to run at similar times to the Monday-Saturday service with a slightly earlier finish. Not sure if the Sunday timetable is 100% correct, as they are listed as running via Alt and Smallshaw. It also looks like Oldham depot will continue to run the Mon-Sat daytime service and Tameside depot continuing the evening and Sunday service.

The 64 and 406 will interwork with each other at Oldham bus station on Sundays, which will see the 64 Sunday service return to Oldham depot or the 406 Sunday service transfer to Tameside depot. Like the 408, the 406 Sunday service is re-timed to run at a similar time to the Mon-Sat service and run to Mills Hill only.

The X84 will be given faster journey times between Garden Suburb and Manchester in both directions, meaning later departures from and earlier arrivals into Carrcote.
