Manchester bus franchising

RE: Manchester bus franchising
Regarding 330 I'm sure that despite it being operated by Ashton Depot its still classed as a Stockport route and was originally operated out of Stockport Depot, the only reason why I think it moved Depots was either due to a shortage of drivers at the time or I think it was moved to Ashton so Daw Bank (Stockport) Depot could accommodate the additional work back when Charles Street Depot closed and everything from there was moved to Daw Bank, I'm pretty sure it was one of the 2 reasons.

330 has been an Ashton route since the depot opened. The 7 has actually flipped back and forth between Stockport and Ashton depot.

RE: Manchester bus franchising
Do we have any ideas yet of which depots will be operating which routes?
