Is this not related to Stagecoach's new cross city service?
Route 50 i think it is, has been extended to cover Salford and MediaCity,
there was speculation on whether or not route 9 would stay, as its a TfGM
tender and cannot run with a commercial service covering the route also.

Wonder if this ties in with the unbranded Enviro(s). The QuaysLink service
will end and Maytree could continue to operate some services with the
TfGM Optare Versas. Maybe on the Bolton Metroshuttle??? :-)))))

It has been mentioned that the 50 will be extended to MediaCityUK via Salford Central and then along the 9 route, so there's no surprise that the 9 has been cancelled on VOSA.

Interesting if that is the case about de-branding buses. I think it would be a good idea to reallocate those buses onto the Bolton Metroshuttle, bring it in line with its sister service in Manchester.
