Love how smart these look and it's awesome to see them now starting to do passenger services again, something not done since they took over Haytons and handed TfGM back their contracts. They also seem to be using Ticketer machines for payment and smart cards, do we know if these are the TfGM supported ones for the Get Me There scheme.

392 via Kerridge ?. That's the 391. Macclesfield as a via point ?. Some reprogramming required methinks.

I did think that as the timetable did say the 391.

They do look really smart & selwyns drivers are always very well turned out too. A real pride in their work, so good to see.

I wonder whether GM Wayfarers are valid on these Stockport - Macclesfield routes following take-up by Selwyns?

Solos 282-285

Yeah there valid as Runcorn use same wayfarers on merseyside contracts

YJ05 PXC in use today on The 129 Hollins Circular in Middleton. Quite a novelty seeing a decker on a route that rarely fills a solo.

Solo YJ59 NNC was working alongside the ex HTL examples on the 391/392 this morning.

Done the 391 again today. How the drivers don't get lost is beyond me, its such a twisty complex route.

The optares (YJ12 GZL/GZH etc) are smart little buses except the seats are rock hard.

According to BusListsOnTheWeb, the Yutongs are 262 and 263.

Presumably that's YJ12 GZG/H/K/L respectively?

This is roughly what I believe the current fleet to be, is there anything in there that shouldn't be, or anything missing? TIA.

I'm guessing that the gaps 260/261/264 must be LX05 FBN/FBV/FCF, and that YJ59 NNC and BG61 SXL/SXM/SXP between them take up the range 278-281; but I would appreciate confirmation of what order they are numbered in.
