RE: First Manchester
Have the 11 Streetlites (63146-63156), which are due, arrived at Queens Road yet ?, as they were reported, as being seen at Heysham docks last week.

Those 11 are for West Yorkshire

RE: First Manchester
Do the Streetlites have the front axle right at the front, like a Solo, or am I thinking of something else?

Streetlites come in 3 different versions - Wheel Forwards (like a Solo), Door Forwards and the Max. The 63xxx with First are the Max versions, those in 47xxx are the shorter Door Forwards, although Maxes are basically long Door Forwards.

RE: First Manchester
From what I can remember, Maytree had some wheel forwards Streetlites although I have not actually been on any variants yet. Are there any still in Bolton?

Interesting, as according to http://www.uk-buses.co.uk/fleetlists/first/ they are for Manchester.

Those 11 have been mentioned elsewhere as for West Yorkshire.

They are not going to Yorkshire now as they are officially diverted back to Manchester and are parked up at Bolton Depot
