    Any indication as to how the Red Rocket service is loading?

    I've only seen a few but they were very poorly patronised.

    Alan, is this service in competition with other operator(s)?

      I'm not an expert on bus services to Manchester so I don't know if there are any, but it's supposed to be in competion with the railway companies, although it seems to be having very little impact.
