That's why I said a single bus of a particular type, because the other ones on order are quoted as MMCs starting at 33951. According to the 2015 First Bus Handbook, its on order for Queens Road depot, and is an E400MMC. I have seen photos of it working the X78 Sheffield - Rotherham service, which according to other sites, is to receive Streetdecks in December. |

Even more curious if its for Queens Road, as it would be a new type for them - again, a bit strange for a "one off" permaqnent order. I totally agree with Ian, I know we have not always seen eye to eye, but if you check the 2015 First Bus Handbook closely, you will find a couple of obvious errors, not only 33900 which is on page 28. On page 59, the registration for 60663 is given as T86045MAK. |

I've spotted 37462 and 37552 around Bury this week on the 163, I presume there is a shortage again! |

RE: First Manchester
I think it could be true about Bury Depot taking on 456/458 services as I've heard from various sources (usually reliable) at Oldham Depot that they are getting 454/457 services back. As for Bury loans they've got/had the following loans recently: 32912, 32972, 37461, 37552 & 69152 |

Looking at the times of the 456/458 and the 468, it could be possible that these two routes will interwork with each other at Rochdale Interchange. |

If Oldham are getting Bury's Citaros, Bury will most likely struggle as they already have a shortage. I presume 472/4 will be most affected by this since it has been mostly Citaros this week and lower passenger numbers anyway. |
