I saw it on the 471 as it was departing from stand M in Bury, at the time I was stood at stand J. When I first saw it moving out of M I could only see the front as the rest was hiding behind another bus, I thought it was unusual for a B7RLE to have a dot matrix style display before I realised it was 10017.

I have had a look on flickr and there doesn't appear to be any photos of it in its new livery, but there will probably be a few uploded soon.

RE: First Manchester
I didn't see them, I just did a search which only returned pics of it in the old livery. Does anyone know where 10000-10014, 30069, 30077, 30800 and 31812 are?

Thanks,
LH.

RE: First Manchester
10000 - 10014 are withdrawn, parked up at Cherry Row in Leeds (I think!)

30069 is either scraped or preserved and 30077 has been preserved in Birkenhead I think.

Yes No 30077 at Birkenhead, at the moment repainting into Crosville livery.
