41 has been extended to Altrincham (with the terminus being Sale, Northenden, Rusholme so unsure on if it is just a mistake and this should be in the 'Via' instead)
2 from Bolton to Trafford Centre has a new 22 introduced and from what I can gather it will extend to Stockport.

This is very unlikely, most of the registrations refer to the place names they were when the service was registered on that license number, often not referring to the services as they are now and not as they are planned.

The 22 was the original service number when that registration was placed with the registration altered when the service became the 2. The 2 coming about because the 22 was no longer viable to operate with all the congestion affecting the route and the very long round trip times affecting drivers hours. The Altrincham being mentioned on the 41 because that was where it used to go when that license was registered, this new version being variation 23 on that service since it was registered by First.
