60379 was repainted in November and 60371 in December so not long ago. Again both due to two B6BLEs being withdrawn. 60386 has been at Queens for a while.

66193 is a driver trainer.

Does 60371 still have a cool sounding turbo?

RE: First Manchester
69177 had a bit of a problem this morning in Holts (not sure if it was on the 81A or 425) as it got stuck on a mini roundabout after hitting a bollard.

Second story in two days on the MEN website involving First, as there was a video of a driver getting into a scuffle with a passenger on Monday at Piccadilly Gardens.

I presume that will be scrapped. The chassis will have been bent which would make it unsafe to repair.

It's actually the third story involving First although this one is on a happier note, regarding the driver from Ashton who's won 1.8 million pounds on the lottery. Apparently he was driving the 350, went on his lunch and as he walked into tesco's found a penny on the floor. Anyway while paying for his lunch decided to buy a ticket...... And I'm sure you can guess the rest. Lucky fella.
Not sure whether he's a Pioneer or Oldham driver but I believe he's give up his job...... As you would.

Sorry i carnt post the link as I'm at work on my iPhone but I'm sure someone will

And now it's four stories as the MEN finally report on the withdrawn night bus services on the 17, 67, 82 and 135.

I should dress up as a giant chicken and then go and ride on the 472 just to see if they can make it to 5 by the end of the week.

I'm not sure if you're either slightly mad or you know something I don't from that comment.

All I can see is minor damage to the bodywork, and maybe some scrapes to the bottom of the chassis frame. I highly doubt the chassis will be twisted! Anyone would think buses were built with cardboard!
