From my obs, no its not. Onward services are plentiful Northern Rail, Metrolink, Magic Bus, First or along Kingsway the not infrequent 50. Having said that though, why should it ?. Just because restrictions are in force by whoever, because they are long standing, it doesn't make them right or fit for todays operation conditions. The failure still remains with those who seem to think they are appropriate. The one size fits all approach, doesn't work and its not helped by the operator who seems content with it.

But you've still not said who (as in which service) should make way for the extra stand time of the 130.

I didn't want to make the "obvious" suggestion of running to Parrs Wood only, as I have no knowledge of cross Didsbury patronage, nor where north of Parrs Wood people are travelling to/from. The only slight thing I would say is that the 50 does not serve Piccadilly, so that would leave Kingsway/UBS (and specifically the back of MRI) without a link to Piccadilly Gardens.
