RE: First Manchester
Oldham needs a totally new network of services you have places like Fitton hill with no Buses to Manchester. and the 425 is really 2 services as there a long wait at Oldham. I would change the 425 to Run Fitton Hill then by park road to Alt then Oldham then back to Fitton hill along Ashton road with say 426 going other way round. You can`t fight the tram but you can get smart with your routes. Like run a Ashton to Hollins road then Limeside then along Oldham road and run a new service along 83 to Hollingwood then turn into hollingwood av then down Broadway then back onto 83 or doing that with 180 as this would give a bus to Morrisons and would take a bit longer then 83 but not much longer. and then there Manchester/Oldham to Halifax and even a Fast M60 link from Oldham to Hollingwood then call at tram stop then fast to Stockport and airport. even if just every hour it a new link and with the train line from Greenfelid and Mossey losing there services for over 18 months soon they a market there also to tap into. the 81 going to be going into a battle zone with stagecaoch and go ahead so I would cut
