I also lived on the outskirts of Manchester - more specifically, on a low car-ownership residential "Overspill" estate which had constant (as in 12 hours a day, six days a week) heavily loaded bus services, and when working at GMB I saw the figures to prove it! However, our competition was low quality in every sense: NO low fares, NO genuine frequency improvements, just smoky old buses run by Operators who lodged Registered timetables and then simply ignored them.

So GMB vehiches were powered on rose scented non polluting diesel did they? Come on Dentonian GMB's atty's and Ollys pumped out just as much crap as Pennine Blues leyland nationals on the 347.
