As a service is provided Stalybridge to/from Manchester Picc by TPE the only need for a bus is Stalybridge to/from Ashton and the passengers from there could use the Tram
The bus runs the full length of the route though, it requires 2 buses (usually Tyrer's double deckers) they also have 'coordinators' at both ends of the route (not sure if there's one at Ashton as well). They also have the same on the Bolton to Wigan part of the route, with coordinators at both ends.

When the engineering work was on a Saturday the replacement bus from Ashton ran to Guide Bridge so passengers could catch a local train from there to Piccadilly.
