Stagecoach Manchester

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Noticed on the Traveline Journey Planner website that the new 76 weekday timetable for its 2 September change, although no timetable for the 50 on the website yet, so have to wait a little longer.

Stagecoach have been a little clever with the timetable at the Oldham end, as the service runs in between the 180/184s (03, 13..etc for the 76 and 08, 18...etc for the 180/4), while from Garden Suburb (where the two set of services run along the same route), the 76 is timed to run two minutes in front of the 180/184. Obviously hoping to try and catch some of First's customers (although knowing what First are like, the 180/4 will be late and end up about 2 mins in front of the 76).

In regards to the later service to/from Oldham, the last 76 to Oldham will be at 7.45pm (currently 7.20pm) with some extra journeys beforehand, while from Oldham, there's a bus every 20 mins from 6.20pm to 8.01pm then the last bus from Oldham leaves at 8.41pm (currently at 7.30pm).
