Greater Manchester Franchising Tranche 3

RE: Greater Manchester Franchising Tranche 3
Route 42a is run by Hyde Road on Monday-Saturday but Stockport on Sunday. For simplicity I reckon the Sunday service will move to Hyde Road and therefore to Metroline.

Metroline is of course the only newcomer to Manchester franchising, all other work going to incumbents, though not always the same operations.

I somehow doubt the Magic Bus differentiation on the Wilmslow Road corridor will continue long after the routes comes under TfGM/Bee Network control.
