First v Stagecoach in Manchester

RE: First v Stagecoach in Manchester
When you look at it there are many routes Stagecoach could merge together what could affect First,76 & 43 maybe? A Through service to Manchester Airport from Oldham might hit first hard.Another might sound like an odd one but how about extending 112 to Oldham Via 58 route,I Know some people who live on the route & the service reliability isnt too good,Perfect chance for Stagecoach to show them how its done.

One thing im wondering is how Arriva is getting affected by this? i know they withdrawn service 16 but i wonder how bad the likes of 130 or 263 have been affected by the Stagecoach vs First Battle
