BN are also supposed to be getting the ones from OM as well!
Also, I think a start has been made on repainting Queens Road's B9s as I'm sure I saw 37279 parked up at BN on Friday and I'm sure ive read that 37285 has been done. Any confirmation would be appreciated.

Well its now been confirmed all scanias from Bury will be moved to Bolton, so im not surprised to learn Om, are getting rid of more of its crap in the direction of Oldham, very good at taking everyone else's good buses, and sending rubbish back the other way.
On the subject of Gemini's at Queens Road, in view of incoming 37301/3/4/16/40/81/82/84 all repainted and transfered in so far, its not surprising to here they have started repainting there's im off to Rochdale and 37285 is always on the 17, so i shall look out.

At work we worked it out at 14, which is by coincidence the number of Hybrids at QS!

Bits from Bolton.
New Enviros parked up outside the workshop: 33739/40/49. 33709 was being driven around but can't remember off the top of my head if this has already been reported.

36/37 branded Enviros seen - 33696/7, although 696 went onto a 22!
Scania 60213 has arrived from BY and was on a 507. 60212 was parked up outside the workshop so not sure if a transfer yet or there for maint.
The withdrawn Arrows have all been parked up neatly now in scrap corner including:
31919/28/36/22/21/24 plus one other which i think is 31918.
31915/17 plus the one with the blue sheet covering the upper deck (31935??) are parked oppostie.

Chances are both scanias are there for keeps, as Bury has two B9s from Bolton over there 37398/and the other is either 96 or 99, couldnt see the fleet it went by to fast.
The other scania's wont be far behind
Shame they just don't kill the arrows now, the remaining ones, Bolton doesn't need anymore crap, its got enough as it is. Oldham shouldnt be using the depot's as some un official scrap yard
