First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
Despite some places saying its withdrawn 31948 is still in active service at Pionner as I saw it in service yesterday in Ashton Bus Station

Also can't remember which one it was but Pionner had another Volvo B10BLE on loan from Queens Road Depot yesterday and was in use on 348 Ashton-Carrbrook service

Also it seems the 149 is mainly operated by unbranded B7s at the moment so wether this means more Darts have been withdrawn I'm not to sure

Interesting workings today saw S108SNB finally making its way to Manchester as it was on 36s today, another one was seen heading down East Lancs Road towards Manchester at about 15:00 this afternoon

so i guess the route branded ones at Oldham will be left where they are

i wonder if 32440 to 52/60 to 65/32531 to 42 will still come here still as expected on my list

also have the same for 33656/57/63 but they are on First Plymouth list there is talk of 2 Enviros going to Huddersfield for 184 and 36181/82 coming here

33656/7/63 were never in Plymouth, 33658-62/4-7 are the Plymouth ones.

Interesting there are fleet changes at Halifax and huddersfield this weekend, although one of the shunters at First Halifax says the enviros are not for yorkshire. Then again, 36181/2 have been linked with manchester before I remember you saying mic
