Are you seriously suggesting that First are keeping a service that makes less money and withdrawing or reducing a service that makes more money, because that doesn’t sound like First to me
If it really was the case First would only run the 184 as far as Marsden at the drop of a hat, why would they keep it?
This forum is funny sometimes by the way - seems to be 50% complaining about stuff being reduced, and 50% demanding that stuff should be reduced

i have seen 37688 on 184 today in Uppermill when it left the square towards oldham it was nearly full at least downstairs this is a good service for people going over the border oneway on the others and walkers like myself who walk over to Huddersfield a lot and get bus back

I'm currently using the 184 on its new route and am wondering what's the deal with the timings in Oldham? We arrived at Oldham Mumps at about 13:50 (due at 13:55), then sat there until 14:07. We then arrived at Oldham Bus Station at 14:13 (8 minutes late). What's that all about?

Not allowed to wait more than 5mins at Oldham Bus Station so advised to wait at Mumps Been that way for years, going back to the old 561/562 days they were timed so that as little amount of time possible was spent in Oldham and the same for a lot of services that use it. Think it's a TfGM thing as when First Todmorden took over the Rochdale - Shore/Stansfield service it interworked with the 590 and 589 causing 15 min drop outs and they didn't like it.
