I think 37384 has been repainted but just no branding at the moment (although I might be confusing it with 37382).
Also, First have put details about the smartcard readers being activated on their ticket machines. Also noticed on a B7RLE a poster, which is seen as you board the bus.

Is 31902 still in service, or has it been withdrawn now? :P
Interesting that some drivers (not all) have allegedly been refusing travel to concessionary pass holders when their pass fails as I was on a 387 yesterday and it came over the radio that TfGM have apparently had complaints from passengers being refused travel due to their passes not scanning properly and that if the pass doesn't scan then drivers must still let the holder travel and under no circumstances must drivers refuse any concessionary pass holders travel
now thats just wrong whoever is stopping old people from getting on!
A start has been made on repainting Bolton's B9TLs with 37369 being the first I've seen on the 37 this morning. A quick glance revealed that it didn't have any branding or tag lines.
This must account for the loans of 37411 and 66889.

Surprised they haven't started on the 11 reg B7's, think they are painting the in order of age, thats the way it seems anyway...
Also noticed over the past weeks lots of TFGM ticket monitors people on the 12/582, dunno if this is something to do with the coming changes

Data Collectors have also been on the 26. Then again, they would be given its forthcoming doom.

Saw 37418 out on the 8 this afternoon. Didn't have any branding on it. Did see a bus in the new livery parked up at Bolton depot when I was on the 36 a couple of weeks ago and it look like it had something like 'Bolton' written on the side. Not sure, as it was only seen briefly from a distance.
