Only I've seen something saying that the 34s are replacing the evening 26 service but that goes via Swinton whereas 34 goes nowhere near Swinton these days and instead runs via Monton and Salford Royal Hospital.

I think no one would really travel between central Swinton and Leigh, its hardly a high user route, and in any case Vantage can be accessed on the A580 just outside Swinton. Swinton is served by the 37 and 38 between 1800 and 2400 in any case, so not really a major priority to retain this route in those area's.

Once regulation occurs if it does, then that's an opportunity to introduce a recast network around Worsley which has lost several routes since Vantage opened an establish new links, although Worsley has high car usership,
which is another reason why bus user ship has not been able to be retained at substantial levels within that area.
