Summer Services
Due to a reduction of traffic on the roads of Greater Manchester during the summer holidays, First Greater Manchester changed some of the timetables on busier services. The period that the summer timetables are introduced coincide with the school summer holidays, starting in mid-July and ending in late-August/early-September. Usually, buses are retimed to run to similar times to the off peak timetable, while some service introduce additional journeys, as buses that would be used for school services are made available.

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or services:
“There is nothing like the fun of having brothers,
if there is no rivalry.
There is nothing like the fun of summer rains,
if there is no mud.
There is nothing like the fun of gambling,
if there is no loss.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (18611951)
