Forgive me, scania1996...the trident must go back south devon correct? any idea why? thank you

I've no idea why Martin, I'm not certain that they're going back to Devon but definitely down south. An 08 plate Enviro400 with a Grand National rear advert has also arrived, I'll get the fleet numbers tomorrow.

Oh, I see that's ok, cheerio scania1996.

I'm not sure if you know about 113(wigan to Wrigthington Hosp.) is withdrawn on sunday but the date/month is uknown so will change new journey/route I believe I think is 634/635, correct me if I'm wrong.
And will pass to SLT.

Mentioned in the Forthcoming Changes to the Bus Network document from November's TfGM Committee meeting. It was suggested back then that 113 would be withdrawn in April and replaced by circular services 636/637, which would also replace Wigan Buses/Cumfybus's 611/612 circular services. Service 636 would run to/from Wigan via Worthington Park, Standish, Shevington Moor, Wrightington Hospital, Appley Bridge and Shevington with 637 running in opposite direction.

It's only the Sunday 113 that is being withdrawn though, it will continue to operate Mon-Sat.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Stagecoach would not be running the tender if they were losing money on it.

TfGM have crunched the numbers and decided it cannot justify the subsidy so are cancelling it. It is their money going down the drain, not Stagecoach's.
