RE: First Manchester
There are a couple of Route and Timetable changes in the Bolton area. Could be a case of extending the 519 as a cross-town service or something more radical such as re-routing the 524 between Moses Gate and Bolton.

PC0003680/162 - FIRST MANCHESTER LTD T/A FIRST, WALLSHAW STREET, OLDHAM, OL1 3TR
Variation Accepted: Operating between Johnson Fold and Bolton, Moor Lane Bus Station given service number 519 effective from 19-Jul-2015. To amend Route and Timetable.

PC0003680/35 - FIRST MANCHESTER LTD T/A FIRST, WALLSHAW STREET, OLDHAM, OL1 3TR
Variation Accepted: Operating between Bury Interchange and Bolton Moor Lane Bus Station given service number 524/924 effective from 19-Jul-2015. To amend Route and Timetable.

RE: First Manchester
The planned roadworks in Manchester caused absolute chaos yesterday with most services running extremley late at some points during the day at one point yesterday morning traffic was backed up on Oldham Road to the Sorting Office and Piccadilly Gardens was at a Standstill, yesterday evening rush hour wasn't much better and some drivers I think were either instructed to go other routes or drivers were making their own diversions up as I spotted a 37 heading towards Bolton on High Street heading towards Shudehill, not sure how he had got there. Withy Grove resembled a car park so much so the 135 I was on turned right onto Rochdale Road then went down Swan Street and back onto route as for 42s not to sure how many of them made it to Middleton as I think some of them were turning short at Hospital or probably turning short elsewhere

Noticed B7RLE 69200 with Manchester depot stickers operating on the 425 yesterday.

RE: First Manchester
69200 has been at Oldham for a while now, pretty sure it was transfered sometime before last Christmas

RE: First Manchester
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised it's been there for a while. They don't seem to be that bothered changing the 'Cared by' stickers, as some of the B7TLs at Oldham still have Rusholme depot stickers.
