The last jointly operated interurban route in Greater Manchester comes to an end on 23 July when First and Stagecoach provide separate replacements. Service 22 (Bolton-Stockport) was introduced at deregulation in October 1986. It was part of a new commercial network, designed by Greater Manchester PTE service planners before responsibility for such things passed to the commercial bus operators. It joined together several services to form a rather unwieldy but logical and well used service via Farnworth, Swinton, Eccles, Urmston, Stretford, Chorlton and Burnage when traffic congestion was much less of a concern than it is today.
