Looking good, Leyland Bus always has excellent photographs of the latest updates on his Flickr account.

Intriguing to see what changes First have got planned for the 42. Possible extension to Stockport perhaps?

Variation Accepted: Operating between MANCHESTER PICCADILLY and EAST DIDSBURY given service number 42 effective from 27-Apr-2014. To amend Route and Timetable.

Looks like some of the buses for Rusholme Depot are having work done on them before entering service as I spotted one of the ALX400s at Thomas Hardies Trafford Park on Tuesday afternoon along with one of Queens Road's Hybrid Dynamo Wright Gemini

Not to sure whether its a lone or actually a new bus for Pioneer but StreetLite 63116 made its debut in service yesterday on 18:34 Hyde-Ashton 346 service, not sure if it worked to Hyde in service, I'm guessing it might have done

Pioneer have also had a Dart out every evening this week on 338's. I think Tuesday was one of the ADL Darts with the daft pink lighting and last night and Monday a Marshall was used.
They also had a B9 on late 343's.

It's out today as well. Passed it at lunchtime as it came in to Ashton on a 346. No sign of any 'on hire' signs in the windscreen. A really change from the normal Olympians and Arrow that normally plague the 346.
