Thank you WWH and Lea for briniging these deliveries to our attention. I may well ride one on the August Bank Holiday with the new Metrolink extensions.
I saw a Volvo B5LH, possible 39214, on route X34 today.
I have it on good authority that Enviro 300 63004 has now been delivered to Oldham Depot, whether its for Oldham Depot or not I'm not to sure

More than likely as I beleive it turned up at Bolton and promptly left. 63005 has also turned up at BN.
Also, it looks like there has been a mix up with regs as its been reported that the 63003 has had it's fleetnumbers removed! Looks like SN13 CJW is missing and could be for 63002. Reported so far are:
63001 SN13 CJV
63002 SN13 CJX
63003 SN13 CJY
63004 SN13 CJZ
63005 SN13 CKA
New Enviro300 SN13 CJY (was 63003!!) was out on driver training this morning in Egerton Bolton, must have gone up to the turning circle there and back. Fleetnumber had been removed.
must be 533 unless they won the 538/539 eve/sun tender

Wasn't in service, was just driver type training with these new buses. A couple have also been parked up on the bus station.
63004 is more than likely at Oldham for type training duties too. I'm pretty sure similar things went ahead with the B9TLs and Enviro400s too.
Just a little fact also - the Plaxton Pointer 2s were not subject to training at Oldham Depot even though apparently the cab compared to the native Crusaders is quite dissimilar! I also remember a driver giving a Pointer 2 up at Mumps because he couldn't find the radiator switches to de-fog the windows!

There were at least three over the pits at BN earlier today with an Alexander Dennis van (and engineer) showing workshop staff the back end of the Enviro300s.
Just seen new Enviro300 SN13 CJX (was 63002!) in service in Bolton on a 572.

I saw one on the 501 going into the bus station too, which I thought was a bit odd seeing as the 501 doesn't usually go into the bus station during the day from what I've seen! :P
