When did the Bee Network start changing the routes after depots in tranche 1 became operational?

I don't actually think there's been much change, maybe apart from increased frequencies on some routes....

Only the odd additional route added like the 615 Bolton to Middlebrook and the number changes on Wigan Routes, very little has changed

It's frequency improvements which are needed, especially on Saturdays. Thinking of the 32/32A (I am aware the 30 (current 17) will be half hourly on Saturdays) and generally the 34/34A could with an increase as every 40 minutes each isn't the most user friendly of frequencies.

I was going to mention this I am hoping this does happen even if it’s not straight away.

Will there be any change in vehicle allocation as a result of franchising when it comes into effect? For example could we end up seeing deckers on some of the current St Helens routes that don't normally get deckers?

What is going to happen with the other tendered routes, not the School routes, but likes 811, ecc, that A2B currently operate?
