RE: First Manchester
Some of the new timetables for Bolton and Bury depots are on the First website, giving an insight into some of the changes in April.

*22 - First don't appear to be taking over the evening journeys from MCT.
*68 - New weekday morning journey at 0503 from New Bury to intu Trafford Centre with the 0610 journey from Eccles to Bolton extended to start from intu Trafford Centre at 0558.
*92/93 - 93 will run during the day and early evenings between Manchester and Carr Clough. TfGM tendered 92/93 journeys will start from approximately 2000 (1800 Sundays).
*95 - Complicated. Buses will run from Salford Shopping Centre to Prestwich Tesco, then turns around to head to Kersal before turning around again to run to Bury via Prestwich, Whitefield and Unsworth then heads back to Salford Shopping Centre to start again = 2 buses per hour between Prestwich and Kersal. Sunday service re-timed but runs between Salford Shopping Centre and Whitefield only.
*97 - Service to run daytime only until approx 1900-2000 (1800 Sundays).
*X34 - Most journeys given an additional 5 minutes running time from Manchester to Pendleton.
