TV 60301 is parked up with the other trainers at BN as well

Dart 40370 a Mk1 Pointer are also down in the scrap corner area as well.

You sure its 40 370 as it was in service last night at ashton

37431 another repaint with half its fleet numbers missing, Bolton Depot are coming up as slack and half a job specials

Bury had a simlar thing with 37296/9 when the sticker kits were late, but they didn't put a bus in service, with half its fleet numbers missing............slip shod is what that is

RE: First Manchester
If 40370 is in scrap corner, I am sad, that was a great bus, same cannot be said for 40371/2 they should be scrapped and soon

RE: First Manchester
Just had a very random moment, nice little quick passing of Bolton Depot, enough to see, 6 Enviro's parked in front of the work shop, with Gemini II 36279/80 parked behind them, looks like Greater Manchester Branding has found its way on to the buses instead of empty spaces where shuttle used to be, also noticed a couple over the far side alongside the neighbouring plumbers. Not Bad for 30 seconds really.

RE: First Manchester
just seen 37386 arrive at Oldham bus station on the 350, with Pioneer legals, so looks like it has moved from Oldham to Tameside. 37382 also at the bus station on the 350.

Meanwhile, 40360 (also with Pioneer legals) is on the 415

RE: First Manchester
I'd also like to report that 37382 has Pioneer legals also, and is on the 350 today. 40364 has Pioneer legals but is running on the 415 today.

Also, because I can't report this anywhere else, YX60FDC was on the Oldham Metroshuttle this morning at around 10ish.

Saw another Dart on 415, so may have been that. They'll need to update the blinds as Middleton wasn't displayed (probably no Holts too).

Interesting to read that an Enviro200 was on the Metroshuttle in Oldham cos when I was in town around noon, its normal vehicle was in service.

I also noticed they must have made a swap later on.

37434 and 37436 were also on the 350 today. I've just been on 40364 on the 184 meaning it must have been switched with something else on the 350, however it got to Mumps and the next driver picking up its board said 'I ain't driving that like that.' and had it swapped for a B9TL. It's windows were totally steamed up and you couldn't see anything.

I also just spotted 40361 with Middleton 0 on the blind/matrix on Abbeyhills Road, probably on its way back to Mumps.

RE: First Manchester

And also seen 37465 on an early trip of the 348
