RE: Greater Manchester Tenders
Proposed changes in the next GMCA bus committee meeting. Does look like Arriva has taken some of the work in Trafford from Diamond and Little Gem but some still TBC.

• 159 (Stotts): Proposed to be re-routed between Greengate and Middleton to run via Alkrington. Re-routed route will be Mainway East, Lincoln Road, Evesham Road, Kirkway, Mainway and Manchester New Road.
• 516 (Diamond/Vision Bus): Evening and Sunday journeys to be re-routed via Brazley to match the planned re-routing of commercial journeys.
