Sounds like this will make sense as recently when I've seen 178 its been operated using MCT's own Hybrid Solo SR's

Some quick re-branding of the Oldham Metroshuttle, I imagine.

Sounds similar to when Stockport Council first launched their 300 service. They requested plain white vehicles although that soon changed.

I don't understand why when councils are slashing their budgets so much Rochdale want to waste some money on a free bus service. It's crazy.
No doubt MCT will be paid a pretty penny for running it!
