RE: First Manchester
Looks like the 180 will be suspended on Friday afternoon due to the Saddleworth Whit Walks. This will see buses running to/from Uppermill as a 184 instead.

Not sure where they were going but on my way home from Wigan tonight I saw 2 First Manchester City Connect Streetlites heading Northbound on M61 between Farnworth and Westhoughtonn

Massive bus shortages at Bury Depot today, 10 buses short this morning

They borrowed 69162 and 69173

And buses from various other depots

They seem to be really struggling at the moment

I hope they borrow 31929, that would be interesting on my local route

I think the routes need to be moved out of Bury they are having constant trouble with bus reliability and there is no way first will send anything new there way, and then if they constantly struggle to get serviceable buses out. How can they keep these routes

Both the 524/510 routes have been run by Bolton many times in the past without problem

Thought it was odd when I was in Bury yesterday afternoon and I saw a T---KLF Olympian on 135 and 69162 (forget what service it was on)

34105 is running the 135 at the moment, not sure if 34104 is back at Bolton or not.

Hands OFF! That bus belongs to Ashton. It can be interesting on MY local routes.

RE: First Manchester
It takes forever to get to Ashton from Bury, I think it would be quicker if the 400 still ran though.
