Absolutely anything and everything. Usually the large single deckers, but I've seen Solos appear on there on an increasingly regular basis recently.

Not necessarily. The 126 interworks with the Tyldesley circulars on a three hour cycle. Usually only D10 was on the cycle with X80 operating elsewhere, so only one in three buses would be decker operated. It also depends on availability, last Christmas week saw Solos and Tempos on the service... on one occasion the Tempo leaving Leigh full to the brim and not stopping until it got to Trafford.
