Without some of these routes it may not even be worth Stagecoach taking the depot .

You may find that First have decided to retrench back towards core Greater Manchester areas.

Exactly - I'd imagine one or two of those routes has been negotiated into the Stagecoach buyout to make it worth their while - however that's yet to be seen, but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough the intricacies of this deal.

I think it's a good move by Stagecoach, and they could work wonders with the Wigan network and promotions and turn it in to a good little operation.
