Also, seems to suggest that the 7A Sunday service will be re-routed to cover the 168 between Gorton and Drolysden (presumably to/from Ashton instead of Denton), while evening/Sunday journeys on service 231 will be extended to Ashton and re-numbered 230.

Judging by the wording of the registrations these decisions have been taken by Stagecoach and not tfgm. Be interesting to see what would happen if tfgm refused to transfer support.
