58 is wholly tendered. Evening and Sundays journeys on the 181/182 are tendered and there's also the last journey on the 59.

Tendered journeys on services 6, 38, 39, 81, 81A, 348, 350, 389 and 425 are all operated by other operators (namely MCT and Stagecoach) during evenings and Sundays. I think the only tendered services First now run during evenings and Sundays are the 2, 68, 181 and 182.

First have lost a few tendered services or given up running some services in Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside in recent years, which are now operated by MCT and Stagecoach, such as the 41, 149, 332, 337 (re-numbered 339), 338, 387, 402, 406 (now partly merged into 149), 408, 410/411, 412, 415, 419, 451, 452 (withdrawn) and 462.

Wasn’t the 406 merged into the 149 about 15 years ago? I remember because we used to take the 406 from Limeside to the Morrison’s in Chadderton.
