First Manchester

[SF07]

RE: First Manchester
TfGM have published the summer timetable for First services. Noticed that the 180/184 timetable is different from previous summers in that it doesn't have faster morning journeys to Manchester. Instead, it looks like they've almost reverted back to the previous timetable dated pre-March, with the 180s and 184s that commence from Diggle and Uppermill departing 10 mins earlier throughout the day and some of the early evening journeys from Uppermill-Greenfield to Oldham being withdrawn.

However, there does seem to be some flaws with it. Firstly, the 7.17am 184 departure from Manchester arrives at Uppermill at 8.20am then it would look like it'll head to Greenfield to start the 8.31am departure to Manchester. Also, the 7.07pm 184 Diggle-Manchester journey seems to leave a minute before the 6pm 184 Manchester-Diggle service arrives in Diggle, which is either bad timetable planning or a 45 minute wait for the bus that leaves Manchester at 5.10pm for Diggle.
