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.

From July's GMCA meeting:

Quote:The daily hourly evening service 26 is currently provided with the financial support from TfGM.
In order to simplify the network in the Salford and Wigan areas, it is proposed that a package of changes are made to evening services to bring them into line with the commercial day-time network.

As part of this, it is recommended that evening service 26 be withdrawn.

Alternative facilities are provided between Leigh and Worsley, Court House by Service 34 (see below).
The section of route between the junction of Worsley Road and Greenleach Lane and the East Lancs Road will become unserved in the evening.

This will affect an average of 1.22 passengers per trip, Monday to Friday, 1.33 per trip on Saturdays and 1.22 per trip on Sundays.

Quote:Officers are proposing the introduction of a new daily hourly evening service 34. This evening service will match the daytime commercial operation and provide a partial replacement for service 26 (see above).
