37546 is Bury's but 37547 is down as being there on paper, I saw 37545 in Rochdale, on Saturday. Our mutual oldham depot contact told me, he has a list of B9s to be motd before transfer, so it possibly could be on route to BY, But motd at BN. All in all 20 B9s are bound for BY.

They are to replace citaros

And the older scanias

Noticed over the last couple of nights in Ashton that late evening 348's and 350's were operated with B9s.
While it's great to see some modern machines finally at Dukinfield why allocate double deckers to services that only carry a handful of people, which could easily fit onto Solo.

Interesting point, and something I've asked myself since the 18 moved from Oldham to Ashton on Sunday

RE: First Manchester
Interesting sighting yesterday was 2 repainted Geminis operating on X34 Manchester-Leigh service yesterday, these were operating the QS Depot journeys that leave Manchester at :42 and Leigh at :42, it does seem that they've replaced the Dynamo buses on the route
