Sending 69140 a very good decent B7, in exchange for an older B7 such as 66931 makes no sense

My thoughts as well. Should have sent an MX05/55 over from the same batch. 66907 would have been my bet!

66907 Was what came to my mind as well, what with 66906 being missing, or as you say one of the older MX05/55 From Oldham Depot

Messes up the fleet batch now 69140/60 it was nice and neat, typical first though.

RE: First Manchester
From what I've seen, the B7RLE's in Greater Manchester (05/55/06/09) all come at the same rank. None are better than others on paper I don't think.

Oh dear..ll
lto
Another in service at Bolton is 33677.

Couple of other bits:
Parked up at the bottom gates at BN are TVs 60301 and 61351 which have both been there for over a week so not sure if these are withdrawn.

Dart 40402 is also parked there as well

There is also another breakdown truck parked next to Bolton's. Not sure if it's the one from Wigan.

40365 was on the 83 this evening about 6pm-ish heading to Manchester. This week must be Swapshop for the depot, given all the movements.

I'm thinking the Sholver run will be every 15 minutes, unfortunately, but you could be right. I just don't see the patronage for every 8 minutes personally.

Every 7/8 minutes full route.

Guessing you've looked on the Traveline website too, as the timetables upto 1 November are now available. 83 and 180/184 will run 8 buses per hour each. However, while buses towards Manchester will run a straightforward 7/8 minute frequency, buses from Manchester a little off-balance.

Also, with the 184s to/from Huddersfield, extra buses will run to Huddersfield in the morning to start from Huddersfield at 0625 and 0725, while buses to Huddersfield will mainly leave Piccadilly at xx20, plus extra journeys from Huddersfield to Manchester at 1825 and 1930. Only odd thing about the Huddersfield journeys is that the current 0730 journey from Manchester will start at Uppermill at 0829 instead, hoping that's an error from Traveline rather than an odd move from First.

From Huddersfield: 0625 (via Dobcross), 0725, 0830 and every hour until 1730 then 1825, 1930 to Manchester
