RE: First Manchester
I remember many years ago the entire batch of 6021.... We're knew at Bolton? Or course in those days they only had three digit fleet numbers. Along of course with the S reg T reg and W and Y reg scanias

I had it again, and it kept stalling at the lights on my 571. And today, it was obviously in difficulties going ever so slow, and holding up the traffic behind it for quite some way. Sister bus 31919 was broken Down in Bury on Monday morning rush hour. So nothing wrong with it, i beg to differ

I was on 31920 on the 571 today, and it was perfectly fine. It had a perfect idle, it had no gear problems, and it was also very fast! Exactly the same it was as it was on the three times in July that I got on it. It must have been having a funny phase when you went on it lol. :P

RE: First Manchester
just looked on the chester and Wirral thread and it seems Rock Ferry are replacing a lot of buses when the London games have finished these will be more B7s so not sure what Pioneer is going to get in my opininin they should get the T-KLF buses

Hello Thomas, I've been waiting on you to post, I knew you would, I saw 31920 earlier in Bolton, :P

Yes ok it sounds alright today, but so did 40405 last week, but still it broke down three times in a week,
Point is Engineers fix it, then usage and service makes these old boys detoriate. Now ok some Arrows are seamless and go on and on, same as the darts. But my point is obviously Bolton Engineers have sorted it out for now, and it sounds good for now, but emphasis is for now. After all it along with the other p reg arrows, makes it odds on to be withdrawn very very soon, for now I'll watch this space.

As you say it must have been having a funny day when I was on it
Lol

Is this the final product or will it receive route branding in the top windows, perhaps similar to the 1/6 and 2/3/3A/12/13/13A services in Leeds with split route branding?
