TfGM have only just updated their Service Changes page to say 'Changes to be confirmed' for the 394 (was previously blank).
Some interesting changes coming up, Go Goodwins 278 is extended into Manchester, a new Service (16) is to start from Rochdale to North Manchester General Hospital (Via Middleton) and Evening tenders 605/606,610 and 614 in Wigan are for the chop, the rest can be viewed here

dentonian,
I can see that on the website of 605/6 and 610 route withdrawn on sunday replacer 631. That embarass for me. I knew i was right in my brain about 631/2 and 605/6, 610. Oh well sadly i might not go bolton once times if 605/606 withdrawn evening mon/sat, i don't know wait n see.
thanks
Martyn
Does anyone know when the Manchester Metroshuttle Tenders are up (Bolton, Manchester and Stockport)?

Sure the Stockport one is annually.

Thank you Dentonian
Would be nice to see another operator take over Boltons metro shuttle. Maybe Diamond or even Arriva ;-)

I seemed to recall stagecoach only running it for about 12 months before it passed back to Arriva but presumably to create 'less paperwork' the contract run was increased.
