The Poynton section was formerly the P1 under GHA so it's the third time it's suffered as the result of the contract going to the lowest bidder - Selwyns losing it due to using vehicles which were smaller than the contract specified and now MCT.

It’s a hard route to operate. CEC wanted very young aged vehicles with a certain seating capacity which is fine, but they then expect you to keep 3 of the same type and age vehicles as spares.
I don’t know what the terrain of the route is like because I’ve never done it but constant issues with ABS faults - which doesn’t happen when they are on Ashton/Oldham routes suggests it’s not the best.
