Few odds and sods:

Withdrawn 40337 & 40422 are parked outside the workshops at BN, not sure what for though.

40344 is parked in scarp corner with 40404 at BN.

Visiting were 34102 from OM and 40382 from AN.

60071 has been parked in the same spot NFS for a week now.

37407 is still knocking around as was seen on a number 8

Loads of Training buses knocking around as well.

31811by (xdz5911) is now in service (on loan at ashton) today on 39`s yestersay was on staff taxis
along with 60384 still here but no sign of 34096(loan from om) so presume this is its replacement for now

Citaros are back in service at Oldham depot as I've just seen 60228 head to Manchester on the 181


RE: First Manchester - WWH44L - 19/10/2012 08:49

Looks like 31948 is a transfer from Ashton to Bolton, was on a 507 yesterday.

The Arrows and Scanias are standing out like a sore thumbs in Bolton amongst the new Enviros, remaining repainted B9s and B7RLEs.

B9s still knocking around include 37395/7/402/7/8/9/10/15/20/21. It had been reported that 37421 had gone to Bury but it was on a 582 yesterday. 37402 is the last B9 to have been repainted out of the 53 that were/are at BN.

Looks like the majority of Darts have gone from Bolton with only 40000/352 being seen in service this week.

I thought I saw 31833 this morning on the 816, but cannot find a record of it. Can anyone confirm it for me.

Thanks

I have just seen my bit of paper & realised that it is 31811. Sorry folks.


RE: First Manchester - P528LND - 19/10/2012 19:13

60234 was on the 149, I have a picture of it, unfortunately he'd just changed his destination display to Not in Service at Oldham Bus Station. Smile

What a stupid move! That will mean there will have to be some large layover times in Oldham on some journeys, which is going to prove to be unpopular with passengers.
