It's catch 22 though. Are you saying that because services run by Middleton, serving some of the poorest parts of Manchester arnt as good as services run by other stagecoach Manchester depots then they shouldn't bother investing in new buses at all there?

This has in the past been Firsts big mistake espically at Wigan and Bury. They threw some investment at the golden eggs but Wigan saw practically no investment at all, it was like a very poor relation to Oldham and queens road and look what happened. They flogged it off cheap because it wasn't making money and would have cost too much to modernise and put right.

Also don't forget they took over Wigan and Middleton at around the same time. Wigan had seen a lot of investment whereas Middleton has seen very little. It makes perfect business sense to invest at Middleton given the clear investment shown at every other depot.
