RE: Stagecoach Manchester
There are a couple of problems with 168/9 route that end up with them running late/bunching:

1> On route from Ashton it can take upto 5mins or more sometimes to turn right out of Greenside Lane onto Market Street as the drivers can be waiting sometimes of upto about 3 cycles of lights before getting through, I've actually seen this myself

2> 168s also tend to run late as they have to cope with traffic in/around Longsight and up A6 to Levenshulme meaning sometimes by the time they get Levenshulme their meeting up with 16

3> As always has been said both routes have got a number of Schools on their respective routes and this can sometimes can lead to inconsiderate parking meaning buses can't get past as easily as they normaly would.

Also sometimes getting round Gorton especially on journies towards Ashton can be problematic with traffic leading to services losing time there, as you can see 168/9 route is littered with problems that end up with late running
