It appears that the previous buses used have returned to this route apart from the odd journey. I understand the 18 has been expanded to Rusholme, however surely it doesn't require an extra 10 or 12 buses for the extension?

Speaking of service 18, it pases close to my place of work and at first no-one was using it but recently it seems to have got signifcantly busier. At first I thought it was a crazy idea with all the competition, but all the First Week crowd and others who wanted to get to Universities/hospitals can use the service. Hopefully Firstbus can try a Manchester to Ashton route?[/align]

Really? I thought the 162 was Bury based and the 58/59 buses are Oldham based?

How is the 162 service performing anyhow? Seemed pretty busy earlier this week leaving Piccadilly.

37462 has moved to Bury Depot
