And 40 services in three years isn't thay bad given most are evening services (esp. Sunday), and that next door in Lancashire the situation is much more drastic!

Agreed the article isn't written particullaly well but some towns seem to be destined to left cut off.
Take Glossop for example. It was bad enough that the well used 236's were slashed to one 237 an hour but with the crazy timings it's no wonder it often carries fresh air leaving Glossop but now they intend to axe the eveving 202 so the town is partically stranded after 7pm.
Other areas of Tameside don't fare much better either.

As one person who heavily relies on evening bus services said to me the other day, perhaps it's about time TFGM rebranded the get me there 'get me no where fast!'
