RE: First Manchester
I noticed they'd stopped using the old bus station layby too. possibly starting full construction of the new interchange there.

Thanks,
Liam Moskwin.

Yep, the layby at the old stops at Mumps have been dug up and fenced off for Metrolink work, which has meant that driver changes now take place at bottom of Yorkshire Street (from Oldham) or on Union Street just past the Oldham Chronicle building (heading to Oldham).

Meanwhile, found this pic on the UKBus Photos Facebook page of 69526/9 in the new livery:

It was also on the 1905 last night , bet that was fun.. Always usually a full B7 load on that departure , it also arrived in Leigh half an hour late , sometimes it does amaze how there is need for funding on some TFGM subsided routes , take the 33 for example the 2035 from Manchester near enough always leaves with a full load and usually a full standing load on a Friday/Saturday night , also same with the 12 and 26 at times , also saw a 471 running in a pair today , the Sunday timetable deffo needs a sort out

Reliable insider company information still states that

60212
60213
60214
60217
60218

Will move as part of the dart replacement, It would seem that they are not being released until replacements at Bury are found.

69420 left Manchester Piccadilly with about half a load of passengers with 'Rail Replacement' on the destination around quarter to 8 yesterday, does anyone know what this was about?

what are firstbus playing at sending 37381 to pioneer changing the legals then sending it back to Oldham

in my opininin i think pioneer need newer single decks 350s really do ok with single decks and 348s

They need to stop playing about with First Pioneer, its not all that many weeks ago, Oldham B7s were to be sent there. That would have been a soloution, it is ridiculous to change a vehicles legals then return it.
