That was my thought too, particularly as the new 50 is scheduled to run into Salford Crescent station, like the 9 does. Although, the 9 will offer cheap fares for travel between Salford Crescent and MediaCityUK (£1 single, £1.60 day ticket, £6 weekly or free for staff/students at Salford University). One positive of the 50 extension would be Enviro400 double deckers rather than the Optare minibus hybrids.
