Arriva North West - Wythenshawe Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Wythenshawe Depot
According to upcoming GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT COMMITTEE meeting, Arriva is reverting the 245 / 19 and 19 / 19A back to the pre-19A period.

245 reverting back to the 263 route between Altrincham and Stretford, 19A being withdrawn and 19 frequency increasing back to every 20 minutes.

I am not surprised with these changes, especially during peak there was frequency issues where the 245 and 19 did not work in 15 minute frequency between Altrincham and Sale, and the 19 would be running later (both due to delays and the timetable) that it would be cases where the 19A would only be running several minutes after the 19 from Sale - the 19A would not always pick up the same number of passengers Arriva were expecting from the 19.

Competition from 41 (especially now that Go North West has took this over) and the popular 18 has surely not helped with the 19A.
