Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

[SF07]

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Documents for the TfGMC meeting next week are now online. The 50 and 76 changes included with the 50 being operated commercially to MediaCityUK (Arriva also extending service 245 to MediaCityUK).

Changes for 2 September listed are:
*50 - Service to be extended to MediaCityUK via Salford Central, Salford Crescent, Salford University and Salford Shopping Centre.
*76 - Increased to every 10 mins with additional full route evening journeys introduced
*309/310 - Chatham Street, York Street, Castle Street and Worrall Street in Edgeley will no longer be served. Services re-routed via Glenville Street and Mercian Way. Changes made to improve punctuality.

From 29 October:
*364 - proposed to revise the route in Heaton Morris to omit Nursery Road, Mount Road, Bowerfold and the lower section of Ashburn Road and rerouted the service to operate along Green Lane, Alexandra Road, Pendennis Road and Ashburn Road.

Also, TfGM and Stagecoach are working on a new route for the 171, as it will be unable to turn right onto Edge Lane once the Metrolink starts.
