Bolton have spare buses it would seem,

Gm Buses Group reported that XDZ 31815 was parked at the back of Bury Depot with the withdrawn stock. It is still in service on the 524 today, which is a shame, i hoped it had gone, along with the rest of them

RE: First Manchester
As requested, some clarification as to the posting of sightings:

As a general rule, we'd prefer if day-to-day sightings weren't posted as these do clog up the threads for those who are looking to read for fleet/depot news and as such, could come under the bracket of excessive posting. However, we are happy for unusual sightings to be posted as they may have been. If there are any more issues or if anyone has any questions, please feel free to drop me, or any of the other moderators/administrators, a PM.

RE: First Manchester
I agree, the day to day sightings are simply general allocations usually, bit silly seeing them slapped everywhere. I'd be impressed if it was 10017 on the 425 but 66857 on the 81 doesn't quite cut it for a forum news board.
