I had an inkling high peak would've gone in for the 19 prestbury route as they like having most of the macc town local routes. The 130 will certainly be interesting, i've still not worked out yet which route it'll be taking from cheadle or why arriva have changed the route slightly. Probably best guess is to shorten journey times & improve the reliability which is apparently the reason for the mon - sats going hourly.

39 - Ain't got the foggiest idea yet who's won that.
82 - Probably be arriva chester IMHO, although whoever wins the contract seriously needs to sort of the timings as it constantly runs late. An arriva driver earlier this wk said that for some reason it's no longer going to run from the bus exchange, anybody an idea??????

I believe the route change on the 130 from Cheadle is Sunday's only, and follows the 44 route (i.e. Parrswood road and Lloyd street into Manchester), with the 44 being withdrawn. This presumably enables tfgm to provide a small subsidy, but could cause some confusion having the same route number as weekdays.

Edit : actually Sunday's route is via parrswood road then along wilmslow road into Manchester.
