Thank you, this explains the involvement of both garages.

I don't know exact numbers, but their current routes for 63000 series ones are
41 Manchester - Rusholme - Sale
42 Manchester - Rusholme - East Didsbury (but will also serve North Manchester Hospital from April 27th)

I believe small versions ie 47000s are being introduced on
348 Ashton - Carrbrook
350 Ashton - Hey Farm (but I doubt the through journeys to Oldham)

the ashton streetlites will do 348/350 to both hey farm and oldham metroline as they all 17 buses at least 2x a day go to oldham and back as the roster goes usually something like this
348 (848)
350 hey (953)
348 (1058)
350oldham (1103)
348 (1508)
350 hey (1613)
348 (1728) extra ten mins wait here due to extra bus coming on to help timekeeping
350 oldham ( 1833)

generally it doing 2 348/350 to hey farm with the 3rd 350 being a oldham run

every bus on a 348/350 duty will go to oldham at least once in the day

but these buses will/can venture onto any ashton route atm due to the layout of yard and veh availability

Some B9s have transferred over to Queens Road, saw 37388 and 37414 on the 67/100s recently

37386/7/413/33/5 have all been off the routes for the past week and not noted elsewhere

37433 was MOT'd at Bolton and is now a QS Bus with37386/7/37413/37435 all expected to go into service at QS
Now considering yesterday was Sunday Service I was quite surprised to get to Ashton and find Marshall Darts and the odd Plaxton Dart in service yesterday, the Plaxton was out on 389s which I found odd as usually on Sunday's 389 is usually operated with Hybrids and I would have thought that more of the Streelites would have been out
Streetlites are starting to appear more and more now on all services, spotted one on the 387 as well as the usuals on 348/350. And the Marshall Darts need getting rid of, they are utter c**p
Can anyone provide me with a full list of what buses are now allocated to Rusholme Depot please?

Thanks

well with the x reg farts thank om for that and qs for nicking them

as with other posts recently any bus will appear on ashton routes due to depot constraints it is atm first bus at the door the type doesnt come into question now really exc 353/4 /335 with the solos only due to width access on route
