Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

[SF07]

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Details were mentioned in the old forum regarding Stagecoach's planned changes for 17 June. Details are now available on their's and TfGM's websites, along with timetables on the Stagecoach website.

With the 371/11A, the early Saturday morning jouneys run by Finglands will still operate as a 371. The new 11A service will serve Broomwood during the day only, evening journeys will run via existing 371 route. The 11A route will run via existing 371 route from Stockport to Baguley Tesco then as 11 route via Broomwood to Mainwood Road then Thorley Road to Timperley then Stockport Road then as existing 371 route to Altrincham.

The 11 will run 4 journeys per hour from Stockport to Wythenshawe with the 11A combining to run every 10 mins between Stockport, Cheadle and Gatley. The 11 will then have varying waiting time at Wythenshawe and Wythenshawe Hospital, where it'll run a 15 minute frequency service between Wythenshawe Hospital and Altrincham.

The 15 will be reduced to run every 20 minutes off-peak and Saturday daytime, whilst running every 15 mins peak times.

The 236/237 details have been mentioned before (increased to every 20 mins, Manchester service withdrawn). The 216 will cover part of the loss by interworking at Ashton with the 236/237 in the morning, while the journeys from Stamford Park are re-timed. Weekday journeys at 5.33pm, 6.03pm and 6.36pm from Manchester are extended to Stalybridge Armentieres Square. All journeys to/from Stamford Park or Stalybridge will be re-routed to run via Beaufort Road instead of Park Parade.

One change not listed on Stagecoach's website but is mentioned on TfGM's website is the 217's 2.45pm weekday journey from Manchester is re-timed.

Also, summer timetables will be introduced from the same date on services 15, 23, 23A, 41, 42, 42A, 43, 50, 84, 85, 86, 101, 104, 105, 108, 109, 111, 168, 169, 197, 201, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 231, 253, 255, 256, 313, 314, 330, 347, 358, 368, 369, 370, 374, 375, 378, 383, 384 and X57.
