Somebody posted a photo of a bus in the depot with an unusual destination on the screen. If we all got an update every time that happens my inbox would be overflowing......

RE: First Manchester
Going off the caption it would seem the driver had it in service on the 511 not just playing around with the dests

I can say for a fact since Bury closed they have bee. On 472/474's and 524's but having seen the picture myself I can't see how it suggests that it had been on the 511

Knowing who the driver is that posted the photo I can actually say for certain that it wouldn't have been on 511, he's well known on social media for posting and saying things like this just to get people going, he's quite a fan of bendy buses himself and would love to have one on various routes but with this photo it was took inside Bolton Depot.

RE: First Manchester
First Manchester have put a statement on their website about the withdrawal of the 519/20. Why have they not reduced the frequency to every 20 mins?
I've been on the service during peak times and it has been standing load only.
Here's what they had to say: https://www.firstgroup.com/greater-manch...ember-2017

I wonder how many Buses less will be needed if this change does go ahead

Not just buses but drivers. They are in a tight spot at Bolton with a shortage of drivers. My mates been there for just over a month now working through an agency on more money than actual drivers employed by First. Morale is apparently very low. It looks and reads as if Bolton is going the same was as Wigan did.
