Greater Manchester Service Changes

[Citibus]

RE: Greater Manchester service changes
nice summary as usual. i suppose the line 551/553 (Vision Bus): Withdrawn and partly replaced by services 20, 29 and 129 should also include 559 and 570 - lots of links lost in reality.

Strangely the 584 has always had numerous operators at the same period, operting tender journeys with seemingly no operator willing or able to win all the tendered journies. Im unsure why TfGM have different tenders for evenigns and sundays on that and the 516 but very few other routes.

I do wonder how the 594 (694) evening and sunday journeys will be promoted (nothing i guess). Daytime operator Tyrers are very unlikely to meniton on their buses about the enhancements and then the 2 hour frequency by Warrington's Own Buses will hardly be noticable to the general public. I hope its a success!

Will the new 129 have evening and sunday journeys to replace the 551 in part?
