RE: First Manchester
Seen reports on FB that pool B10BLE 66112 from Rotherham is at Bolton. Presume this is to cover vehicles off the road. Do we know why there are so many loans at BN atm? |

Not so much bus wise as this shows Rusholme already have spare buses over the School/University hols for the next fortnight, and service cuts will render probably 15+ buses spare across the company. However, with however many drivers required for Vantage services, and only a few cuts at Bolton depot, this could really be a problem. Didn't they recruit new drivers and inspectors for the Vantage service? |

RE: First Manchester
I know of at least 2 drivers from Bury Depot that will be covering Vantage routes in the short term obviously due to shortage of drivers. As for vehicle shortages Bolton are also borrowing a Streetlite from Rusholme and this was sighted on 501 yesterday although whether it was on a 501/68 duty I'm not to sure |

RE: First Manchester
Has anyone got an update on the Vantage Service, has it got off to a good start? I'm hoping to get up to give it a go next week-end. Can anyone tell me where it goes to in Manchester City Centre, is it Piccadilly or Shudhill or elsewhere. Thanks. Pete. |
