Compared to pre-1986, it may work "quite well" for south Manchester, but few in Tameside or Bolton - two of the most profitable depots in GMT/GMB days - are happy. I suspect something similar is the case in Merseyside, with many Liverpool routes having better servics than pre-1986, whilst the suburbs, especially the erstwhile low car ownership ones, have suffered.

Spot on Dentonian, St Helens has lost quite few links (mostly cross town) and there are quite a few areas which are either poorly or not served at all these days.
