I get the 76 so I'll keep a lookout and see if I can get fleet numbers if any are about.

Wigan appears to be the poor relation these days with Stagecoach. They've lost the only daytime link to Manchester (in fact the only bus link to a city from Wigan in the daytime is the 113 to Preston) and now most of their local routes are being reduced.

Did First have the right idea with Wigan then?
