Severe delays on services 12, 25, 36, 37 and X34 running between Salford and Piccadilly this afternoon due to Manchester United's trophy parade. Huge queues along Quay Street and Peter Street. Took around an hour to travel on the 36 from Salford Shopping Centre and Piccadilly this afternoon around 4pm.

One of the hybrids (39207) was on the X34 this afternoon too.

Saw West Yorkshire Gemini 2 36274 in Bury today and also whitefield. Must say was an unusual sighting amongst Citaro Centre that is Bury Interchange

RE: First Manchester
What is it doing in Bury? Replacing the decker damaged by the bridge?

Wouldn't this be the third Gemini 2, with Oldham having a couple.

Btw with the Gemini's what is the deal with the seating styles. Some have the turqouise and purple moquette, and others are purple patterned, and some are dark leather that are higher? Different batches or do older ones have different seat covers?

I have just seen 37413 with Driver Training up on the destination display on what appeared to be going back to Oldham depot. Now correct me if I am wrong but I am sure this is no longer an Oldham depot bus... Can anyone confirm this to be true?
