And I don’t know how much they paid for someone to come up with the branding on the 163 buses but the stupid captains on the Back of each bus looks like it’s been done by a 5 year old.

It’s cringed to say the least.

Can only go off what my mate said who works there. At least 10 waiting for major warrenty work, the handful I’ve seen with rear ends caked in oil and I’ve seen at least 3 recovered from bury in last few weeks and one recovered from outside shudehill.
I’m not saying it’s not good to see investment but have they invested wisely or is it down to their in-house maintenance??
Yesterday while in Leigh I spotted Streetlite 20188 BX70GHJ opertating 16:45 Leigh-Tyldesley service, apparently this only got as far as Shakerley befire having its rear window smashed while on route after this it apparently ran dead back to Eccles Depot.
Not to sure whether Eccles has got the facilities to repear the window or whether they'll have it replaced at Bolton.
As for the Streetdecks what Mayneway is saying is actuallly true as I've been told this by a good friend of mine who used to work at First at Bolton but is now a Diamond Driver at the same Depot.

Like I have posted Manchester is not the place to buy new fleet it better to limp as you don't know what going to happen TFGM could say we want a set type of bus and you are then stuck with a fleet on finance that need to be sold or TFGM take over at the book price not what outstanding on finance

And when they work out you can smash round destination Screen and that messy when you do.
40625 has returned to Bolton. Really don't think they can make their mind up with this one!
