What's happening now then? Emailed first but they haven't got back to me yet, and it seems they are worth to much to scrap, yet anyways. Heard they were moving for service at Oldham but i think that was just someone making it up

RE: First Manchester
Think the only service suitable for the bendies is the 409 has its just one straight route and doesn't go round the houses and only place they have to maneuver round is oldham bus station.
But cant see that happening, they'll probably have a one way trip over the M62 to the scrapyard.

RE: First Manchester
They are at Oldham purely for storage, there's not much room now in Bolton with the bendys parked up. More than likely Gona wind up being parked up until the book value drops to a level where it's reasonable to scrap them, they really aren't worth being put back on the road at this stage.
