RE: First Manchester
I can't find recent Replies regarding FreeBus, but 49107/9 have now appeared on the network in the yellow based livery. I think that just leaves 49108 (YJ60 KDN) & 59006 (YJ60 KCK) to be traced. Unless anyone knows different?

Birkenhead depot belongs to Stagecoach Merseyside and Hyde Road belongs to Stagecoach Manchester.

On paper at least, I think there are plenty of spare buses for FreeBus. I wonder if once 49108/12 are available, some of the Solos will transfer to normal TFGM contracts
