There will be some changes to operators on some routes from the end of October.

• 6 Rochdale-Kirkholt: Go North West takes over from First
• 11A Stockport-Altrincham: Diamond takes over from Stagecoach
• 150 Gorton-Trafford Centre: Diamond takes over from Stagecoach
• 480 Bolton-Bury: Vision takes over from Rosso
• X50 Trafford Centre-Manchester: Diamond takes over from Stagecoach
  

Services 108, X58 and X84 are withdrawn. Current operators retained on services 1/2 (Wigan), 7 (Stockport-Ashton), 34 (Leigh-Mcr), 56, 81, 180, 181/182, 237, 313, 322, 328, 378/379, 511, 597, 635 and R3. Service 358 will continue but operator not confirmed yet.

Services 59 and 250 will see weekday timetables reduced to every 12 minutes. Service 256 will see Monday-Saturday daytime service reduced to every 15 minutes, as will services 3/4 in Wigan on Saturdays. One journey on the 253 will be withdrawn.

Services 191/197 are re-timed with some early morning journeys withdrawn, as will the 23. Service 147 is reduced to every 20 minutes. Some early morning journeys on services 464 and 467/468 are re-instated/added. Service 10 (Manchester) retains its Sunday daytime frequency of every 20 minutes.

Finally, service 8 will terminate at St Mary's Gate as planned, with service essentially running a circular route in/out of Manchester city centre via John Dalton Street, Cross Street, St Marys Gate and Deansgate.
