First Manchester

[Polo Mint]

RE: First Manchester
Doesn't look like it, but maybe it should be re-numbered to route 40 as to complement route 41.

Rossendale Bus started route 469 in competition against First and it operates a different route. First operates every 10 mins Tottington to Jericho with 2 buses extending to Rochdale. Whilst Rossendale operate every 30 mins Rochdale to Bury - the route doesn't extend to Tottington and goes via the grounds of Fairfield Hospital, whilst First 469 goes right past the hospital.

Speaking of this route the First operated journeys seem a lot quieter.
