Saw a First West Yorkshire B10 60618 doing a 33 Worsley from Piccadilly gardens this afternoon, wondering if this is a loan or transfer?

Consists of converting (generally older low floor vehicles) to full Disability Discrimination Act compliance.
Significant investment put into Rusholme
New vehicles entering QS
OM and BN having very modern fleets plus the significant investment in fleet upgrade at First Pioneer, makes the Bury fleet the oldest at First Greater Manchester. Doesn't paint to positive a picture of how much a priority the Bury operation truly is to First
You may have a point, but Bury doesn't have any (or many) Olympians, while other depots do, completely no Darts.
Plus many routes have been upgraded to double deckers, whilst at pioneer they are downgrading B9 routes to Streetlites.

It would appear, that First are trying to make Rusholme, a Flagship depot.

That's how it appears to me as well, certainly could never be classed as a low cost unit
