theres currently a Enviro400 What looks like its carrying a "cared for by oldham" sticker on it http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunny400/85...hotostream (if you view it in 4320 x 3240)

I would have thought that Bolton were due these in leui of the 9 still in Devon from the Olympic batch to replace the 9 remaining B9TLs!

RE: First Manchester
What will happen to the B9TL's at Bolton once they get replaced? Replacing Darts at Oldham/Queens Road perhaps?

Apart from the vehicles discussed above, are any new buses due this year? It would be nice to get rid of some of those Darts.

If you look carefully enough, the vast majority of buses at the Oldham depot have this now...

Might be a bit too small for the 81 route. It has previously been suggested that they will be tried out in Tameside on routes like the 38/39, 331-333 and 393.

They look likr hslf way between an enviro200 & a b7... So... Too big for 415, maybe too small for 81, depends on seats, maybe good for the likes 438, 149, 6.


Infact, looking at specs, can hold up to 70... Same as a B7, so... May well be 81... A brsnded service is more likely to get new buses
