In a way, its always been isolated because it is run by BO and not WY, but in terms of Ecomonies of Scale, transferring it to WY would be seen as a nail in the coffin of BO depot. OTOH, conversion to single-deck means buses could be more easily accomodated at WY, which I gather has height restrictions affecting part of the site. It would also make more sense, if the service ran to Piccadilly rather than Shudehill. This would also be useful in restoring a connection to Salford Royal to those of us east of the "great divide", lost since First pulled the 41 back from Eccles

Maybe the forthcoming transfer of route 130 from WY to Macclesfield will eventually lead to route 10 transferring to WY from BO? First have therefore pulled both route 41 & 110 in the area, route 41 having been relatively short-lived. I am thankful that I rode route 41 from Eccles to Oxford Road in Nov '14 while I had a chance.
