Spotted that today too. I think it has been mentioned somewhere that it is Queens Road running the Mon-Sat service on the 31.

Also spotted a Streetlite (47403) running in Manchester on Deansgate this afternoon, although out of service, presumably it was out to allow drivers to familiarise themselves with the vehicle.

37445 was running on the X84, which I noticed still has the 58/59 idents on the sides of the bus instead of the standard 'Greater Manchester'. Not sure if any other B9s have still got the 58/59 idents on.

Also, there has been some confusion as to the validity of the tickets following Monday's reduction and it seems that it has now been cleared up by First on their website, as it 'supersedes the information available on buses'.

It says that the FirstDay, FirstWeek, FirstMonth and FirstAnnual tickets are valid on all First services in Greater Manchester including the 100 to Warrington, the 184 to Huddersfield, X84 to Carrcote, 589 to Burnley and 590 to Halifax.
