Confirmation of the introduction of service 150, which partly replaces service 168. Service 7A will run between Stockport and Gorton on Sundays, with Dane Bank-Denton replaced by service 205. Service 230 will replace the short journeys on service 231 between Manchester and Littlemoss, which is re-routed to serve Droylsden and extended to Ashton. Also, confirmation of service 34 being re-routed between Worsley and Salford Shopping Centre via Monton and Salford Royal Hospital.

The other notable change not previously mentioned is service 23A will be withdrawn and replaced by additional journeys on service 23 and re-routing of service 25.

There's also a reminder of the re-numbering of services 540, 598, 600/601 and 658 to services 7, 8, 10/10A and 9 respectively. Service 593 will be withdrawn on Sundays and replaced by service 8 (598).

So it seems like the current 'short' 231's that terminate at Littlemoss will now run to Ashton but will run along greenside lane onto market street then turn Right onto Manchester Road and head into Manchester on the normal route. These will be numbered 230. Id have run these short journeys out of Ashton down Taunton Road - the old 168 way out of Ashton. During a spat with Stagecoach Maynes ran '230's which basically followed this very route and they were actually well used.
