First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
First have now published their service changes on their website.

24 will continue hourly Mon-Sat daytime only between Rochdale and Manchester with Bacup journeys and Sunday service withdrawn. 182 re-routed via Nuthurst Road but unsure about 24.

92 will replace 138 and run evenings and all day Sundays (Sunday daytime not originally planned)

149 changes go ahead as planned: re-routed via Broughton and eve/Sun journeys terminates at Alt.

The new one is 88/89, which is reduced to every 15 mins between Shudehill, Cheetham Hill and NMGH, but continues to run every 10 mins from Piccadilly to NMGH via Whitemoss. Presumably, 5 min wait at NMGH for some journeys.

Also, some additonal journeys on 154 and 167 moves to Shudehill.
