Would imagine it'll be a standalone route, numbered 395 perhaps to fit in with the 396. Or perhaps resurrect the old 424 or 428 numbers for the old routes in the 1990s.

However, I wouldn't be surprised, particularly after the 217 extension to run between Ashton and Wythenshawe Hospital, that we see the 151 extended to Ashton. Covers part of the old 396 route between Newton Heath and Failsworth and the service currently terminates at Tesco in Failsworth. Could see TfGM re-routing the service in Failsworth then run it along the old 396 route to Ashton Road/Hathershaw Lane (Park Cakes), then straight down to Ashton.

like I posted only 3 bus stops no longer have a bus so it unlikely they will replace the route and they can`t reroute the 151 as then the 151 passengers would then lose there bus. anyone wanting Ashton can get 76 then 396 or 409
