Just found out from a contact of mine at TfGM that from timetable change on 25th 126/132 will interwork during the week according to the new timetable and also they will interwork with 300 on Saturdays as well

Went for the last 132 from The Trafford Centre to Wigan, Ended up with a Solo... Far to small for the route and it left with people standing up and less people caught it than usual as well, The service worked far better when it did not interwork with the 715 and had its regular allocation of Flolines, These Deckers cant come any quicker!

40412 YV 03 PZJ
40413 YV 03 PZX
40414 YV 03 PZZ
40415 YV 03 RBF

Dont know how true it is but one of there drivers was telling me that they are mega short on drivers anything upto 15-20 short.

I would always take these things with a pinch of salt, unless journeys start getting cancelled, as happened at Western Greyhound during their driver shortage crisis in late 2014/early 2015. However, the Preston Bus website has had notices advertising for drivers for Diamond Bus North West recently.
