Oldhams 60283 is on loan to Bury. Probably helping out until the closure.

Currently in for service at Mercedes Trafford Park are the following from First Manchester

3x Orange Metroshuttle Versas
1 Purple Metroshuttle
1 Silver (Generic) Metroshuttle

Probably explains the reason why normal Solos are being used on Metroshuttle at the moment

Not sure on fleetnumbers unfourtnatly as info gained from a friend on his way to work at Trafford Centre this morning

Does anyone know what route the bendys operate? I know they use to do the 125 bury to Manchester but I don't know hat they do now. Any help would be appreciated.

As it is usually Volvo B9TL on Mon-Sat late evenings & Sundays, I was curious as to whether the Saturday early service might be Volvo B9TL. I rode the 7.30 journey from Manchester to Bury, just the 2nd journey of the day, and it was a bendi. Makes sense not to have single round trips with double-decks then change them to bendis.
