Bury must have one on 'loan' or whatever then. :P
for some reason bury seems to have loads of the old step deckers, why is this?

93 is operated by Bury Depot always has apart from a long time ago, when Queens Road and Bury did it, they probably have a loan arrow from Bolton.
I know B9 37392 is loaned to Bolton for repaint cover this week

Might have something to do with the idea o withdrawing 34028,29,33 and 34069,70 and 34294 and 34291 to replace these buses, they brought in buses from Oldham 30802,3,4,5,6 only a couple weeks after they re instated 34028 34291 34294. So Bury now has a lot of old step deckers. All being dumped at Bury lol
lol in my eyes its great as most of them are in great condition

Haha I know, I just wanted to get on it because it was an Arrow! :P I was gonna stay on for the full route because it's only a quick one isn't it, but I thought that I'd see what was going on at the depot whilst I was there lol. Nothing looks like its changed! Does anyone know where 31935 R435ULE went after it had accident damage or whatever? It just seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth along with 31925 P425PVW lol! :O

Noticed a LOOK branded QS B9TL leave Oldham Way and head down Ashton Road as if coming from Oldham's Depot and going to Manchester... Hmm. This was around half-past 2 on Friday by the way. Anyone know anything about this?
