well there has been another shift rollocking about this its mainly night drivers doin this and some day drivers but i know the depot mgr has been drinking in the p.o.o last few nights and has been spot checking buses. but i noticed last 3 nights evening buses have been alighting on 219 stand then driving onto layover stands rather than alight on main road and get caught. but as usual its only a matter of time till they go back to normal. best advice is ring c.s at oldham and hound them with id numbers service and time then if this cropps up on the perf indicators he has to take action (think its every 20times for this subject in question then dm is involved then if still getting comp then area mgmt get involved and likes of me come out to do ind. surveys. but i was out 3 days last week doin time checks defects and numerous other pointers for duki depot. (if you see someone in ashton bus stn with a pad and a yellow jacket wathcing pioneer buses like a hawk thats me sometimes with my little one in his pram bored stupid)
Think I may have spotted you last week, there was a chap ( possibly you) making notes on a clipboard next to the 348/350 stand talking to the First inspector.
I would have to agree with you though, it does see to be the same few drivers who think they can do what they like and stop where they want.
As the nights start getting darker I will once again start making a note of fleet numbers/ service numbers again and go through the perlarver of filling out the online complaints form.

184 Huddersfield timetable is listed on the Forthcoming Timetables page on First Calderdale & Huddersfield website. Times are slightly different than listed on Traveline, with buses having waiting time at Oldham bus station and Uppermill. Buses will wait 3 mins at Uppermill and 2 mins at Oldham towards Manchester and then wait for 3 mins at Oldham and one minute at Uppermill towards Huddersfield.
Also has the 0921 arrival at Huddersfield starting from Manchester at 0713 instead of at Uppermill although it has a 11 minute wait in Uppermill.

*Buses will not call at Shudehill Interchange or Middleton bus station apart from journeys that terminate at the bus stations. Nearest stop to Shudehill Int will be outside station on Shudehill. Nearest stops to Middleton bus station will be Manchester New Road (Mill Fold Road stop), Assheton Way (towards Langley), Long Street or Wood Street.

RE: First Manchester - SF07 - 17/10/2012 21:23
After seeing the times for the Huddersfield journeys on the First Huddersfield website and the full 184 timetable on the Traveline website, it looks like that First have had a re-think with the Mon-Sat timetable to the 180/184.
The number of buses per hour to/from Diggle was originally going to be reduced to one per hour (the Huddersfield route) but it seems that First have restored the number back up to two with the current routes restored. This means that Huddersfield Mon-Sat journeys will now not divert into the Old Station Turning circle and Sam Road and the journeys that terminate at Diggle restored and run via Dobcross. The 0625 weekday departure from Huddersfield will be re-routed via Dobcross, as originally planned.
Also, the 180/184s have been given more running time between Oldham bus station and Garden Suburb with buses also having waiting time at Oldham and Uppermill. Departures from Uppermill/Greenfield/Grotton will be re-timed by around 3 mins. There will still be 3 buses per hour from Uppermill (2 of which from Diggle/Huddersfield), one from Greenfield and four from Grotton terminus.
First have also changed their mind with the 83 too. There will be 8 buses per hour between Oldham and Manchester as planned but between Oldham and Sholver, buses will run every 10 mins. 2 buses per hour will run Oldham-Manchester only.
