if you read back i put down that on paper 31948 is now a Bolton bus but still on loan at Pioneer

Dart 40408 was on the 409 today, unusual allocation noting that there are more Enviro400's in service

Seen a few 58/59 branded buses de-branded such as 37442, could some of the Enviro400's be branded for the 58/59?

37376/77 both repainted with fleetnumbers and GM fleetnames, although 37377 didnt have fleetnumbers on the front

Repainted 69173 still has it's "bubbles" eitherside of its destination from when it was route branded fro the 582!

A number of Tyres deckers were doing the Reebok runs with an "On hire to First Transport Solutions" board in the front windows. Interesting.....

Had both 37376/7 yesterday to and from Manchester an doesnt 37377 have fleet numbers next to the left offside light, in an unusual place :-)

40337 still sounding great

RE: First Manchester
Noted 66909 another B7 From Queens Road late night 8

Also I see 69162 is now also repainted

Cant help but notice that Bury Depot is becoming an un official scrap yard 34096 T KLF moving to Bury, don't see that logic, other than Oldham are busy playing with the new enviros

RE: First Manchester
Also I note that 37415 appears to have had its Greater Manchester branding removed, Also 37416/7/8 I may have been walking with my eyes shut around Bolton, but I just cant remember if they were ever branded with Greater Manchester. Can anyone confirm for me ?

RE: First Manchester
Think I Saw 37375 repainted can anyone confirm

Also are there any B9s from Bolton still at Manchester Depot?

Thanks

RE: First Manchester
This afternoon I saw Bury's 30803 On Lever Edge Lane Bolton near to Bolton Depot along with 34292, both buses said Farnworth on them, I assumed they were on some sort of football specials. Did 34292 move from Oldham?
