Thanks for your updates & other information. I am just one of a number of people who attempt to keep the UK Buses "First" site up to date & I have amended the entries you have supplied. As regards 69566/7 I knew they were due to go to Bradford but was awaiting confirmation that they have gone, which you have provided. The same thing sort of applies to the swap with Devon, I needed confirmation. As I live in the Midlands I can't get around to all the various First area's as often as I would like, but make every effort I can including Devon/Cornwall & Scotland & everywhere in-between.
I take on board your comments regards the Enviro400s. I was advised by a normally very good source that they are due for the Manchester division, I didn't specify any particular garage as I didn't know & only advised them as "on order". I was aware about the Games arrangements. I do make every effort to get the information I provide as accurate as I can but it is a major task attempting to keep tabs on the thousands of vehicles. Comments like yours really do help as you are obviously closer to the action in the Manchester area than I am. Thanks again. Pete.

Hi 69566/7 were withdrawn from Bury along with the others taken to Bolton Depot, they are now at Bradford information provided Via Bury Depot based driver, Bury Depot have know recieved 6 B7 buses from Oldham as replacements for the 13 Plate. The situation regarding the outstanding darts consisting of 42942/3 have been placed on hold due to disagreements with management over the swapped buses, again information comes from Oldham depot and Bolton Depot sources.
