The only other interesting change is Diamond putting their 36/37 back to every 10mins making a combined 5min service from Walkden Stocks to Manchester at the end of this month when some other operators like Transdev Blazefield are now reducing services due to lack of passengers in the current Tier 4/Lockdown.

Can see a lot of the changes being put on hold. All of the former MCT contracts are up for renewal in April wouldn’t be surprised if they are simply extended and retained by current operators.
