Confused. Are these meant to be any sort of Misallocations or General spottings as most of these i have seen everytime i have been in the GM area!

Ive no idea why you should be confused, these are just my observations of day to day life, they are not miss allocations well the odd one is like B7S ON 474 route etc. I live in Bury so i report on what I see in the area

Also can anyone enlighten me

Which Garage did B7 69180 Start life at?

Also whilst at Bury in 2010 was the vehicle involved in an RTA on the 40 mph stretch of Bury Road Ainsworth, result being it had a front end re build. Im curious to know if this is true.As I've been reading on flickr!!!

69180 was new at Bolton.

Also, Bolton's 37374 has has it's 8 route branding removed except from the full rear end advert. Next in for painting???

Logic says if the 36/37 branded buses are well on the way, making a start on the 8s isnt a surprise.I love 37374 one of my fave B9S
(16/07/2012 01:21)P528LND Wrote: [ -> ]Well I can see the B7RLE's being shifted out of Oldham when the new buses arrive, and these would probably be the direct replacements of the Darts - I don't see B7RLE's lasting much longer at Oldham. Then again I am thinking Oldham keeping about 25 B7RLE's as direct replacements of the Darts, whilst these reported B7TL's displace the Cummins-engined MX54 Solo's from the Pioneer depot for use on the 415. There's all-sorts of things that could happen this end though, we're open to change here at the Oldham depot. Nothing ever happens the way it should here... :P

The way I see it, because I thought it was 25 each depot at first:

B7RLE's are moved off core routes 181/182, 81, 425 and replaced with B9TL's.

Darts are moved off the 415, and replaced by MX54 Solo's.

Darts are moved off Rochdale Local work and replaced by 20-25 B7RLE's.

B7RLE's are moved to Wigan depot to replace Darts/Excels.

Not true, but would be ideal: Wigan could do with some Solo's for the 625/626's, so 40318-40322 could move there. I know one of those is withdrawn but I don't see this being the end for them just yet, and we don't need them in Oldham since the Y reg's are sat around in the depot 90% of the time doing nothing, and the PVR as far as I know is 4 on the Beech Hill routes, so 5 would mean a spare would be sat around waiting.

Bolton will replace their Darts with B7RLE's, replace their B7RLE's with B9TL's and replace their B9TL's with their new buses. The Arrows would just be pulled out of service easily.

Speculated B7TL's for the Pioneer depot would recieve B7RLE's or B10BLE that have been displaced by B7RLE's I think. Maybe the B6BLE's would come here too.

As for remaining B9TL's they would go to Bury for the replacement of the 94UA's

Pioneer are looking for a new site or so i have been told near Ashton Moss their depot at the moment could not fit a lot of big buses in they have to park some on the road side at night

Damien

I can think of a B9TLS that is desprate for a repaint, and that is 37297, the bus wrap is so tatty and bits of it are falling off, so grubby we believe in buses, yeah right otherwise 37297 wouldnt look so scruffy

Think it was a 4042x but may well have been a 4043x.
40434 is MY bus Wink

Sounds good about a new Pioneer depot, then they will be able to ACTUALLY expand, maybe even leading in the remerge to Manchester? :P
