Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
Manchester east & Rochdale today. I went in the summer as a few of my buses were just hourly services, and I wanted to ride the evening journey at the end by daylight. Anyway, my travels were as follows:-

84 East Didsbury - Stagecoach 19290
42 North Manchester General Hospital - First 63153
118 Piccadilly - Stagecoach 33871
Metrolink Rochdale town centre via Oldham Central - 3023
200 Rochdale Markets north - Stotts Slimline Solo MX07JNK, then walk to Bus Station
435 Shaw - Rosso 212
408 Stalybridge - First 30956
343 Hyde - Stagecoach ex-JPT 454 (Couldn't see its shadow Stagecoach number)
389 Stalybridge - First 34089
348 Ashton - First 47476
38 Ashton via Hazelhurst - First 41787
Metrolink Piccadilly - 3029
192 Stockport - Stagecoach 12211
22 Home - MCT Versa YJ11ENR ex-Oldham Shuttle

I emphasise the Metrolink ride via Oldham Central as going that route felt different from my ride last Christmas to Shaw via Oldham Mumps ex-BR. I was happy to use my Stagecoach Smartcard on the ex-JPT route using an ex-Bluebird bus!
