Now with the 217/218 being axed Stagecoach don't operate any ex-Mayne routes and smaller communities have lost their link to Manchester, if the services had being bought by First for example they may have provided a little more competition into Manchester. Purchasing Bullocks also allowed Stagecoach to be even larger in the Stockport area.

231 is Ex-Maynes isnt it?,plus most places that lost there link to manchester have frequent enough connections at Ashton into Manchester. As for the stockport area they hardly have it bad, Modern fleet with Enviro400,E400H,Solos & new Enviro200s to replace ALX300s
