RE: First Manchester
It seems that a large amount of un certainty on the Merc Citaro's still remains

60272 Was supposed to have moved to OM in part exchange for some B7s
60276 The same
60235 Still at Oldham Depot I would presume along with 60276 as neither bus has been seen in Bury for a while

60275 was reported at First Pioneer, but was observed back at Bury Depot on the local 472/4 services.

Only thing seems to stand is that 20 are due to move at some point, presumed destination Oldham Depot

damien/ mic just to clarify 60275 was NOT at pioneer if you read the post it was route learning!!! drivers on om`s duties of 125/6 bluecoats - haughton green then afterwards 125 goes onto a hyde - ashton 346 (last year it did 387`s) as om now do one 346 and 1 389 at evening peak

RE: First Manchester
37381 was on the 184 yesterday, definitely back at Oldham.

69420 left Manchester Piccadilly with about half a load of passengers with 'Rail Replacement' on the destination around quarter to 8 yesterday, does anyone know what this was about?

RE: First Manchester
37557 on a Sunday 409, apparently changed by a driver from an Enviro400. I see drivers are sharing my opinion on them...

Also, a little irrelevant, but does anyone know who N276CKB belongs to?

what are firstbus playing at sending 37381 to pioneer changing the legals then sending it back to Oldham

i am sick of roadworks in saddleworth about 3rd time this year they have had the road up

350 delays on Saturday weren't helped by the closure of Oldham Way at Mumps, which meant buses were diverted into Oldham via Shaw Road and Egerton Street. Took over 20 mins to go from Tesco on Huddersfield Road to Oldham town centre, which meant delays to services 58/59, 81/81A, 83, 180/184, 350, 415 and 425.

RE: First Manchester
58/59 saw no delays, in fact were benefited from the shorter route into the Town Centre from Egerton Street! I personally think that should become a permanent fixture for the route.
