Personally I think if they are going for work in other parts of Manchester like Ashton and Stockport they need to relocate Eccles to somewhere more central.

But what about ex MCT drivers I am sure they be more happy in East Manchester or South as in Bolton there a number of company's you can work but if they looked at maybe Finglands or MCT Stockport depot or i can think of few others places in Gorton they may find they could staff imore easy as it case of work for Stagecoach or a smaller coach firm. you have to think if you can`t hire drivers you have an issue with your pay or rep or both.

Eccles is not the best place for Manchester or Stockport routes but even an outstation in Stockport with a few drivers in there pool would be a start.
