First Manchester

[P528LND]

RE: First Manchester
Dear lord, one bus breaks down in Oldham and all of a sudden it's the worst depot in GM! Give them a break, and considering they're Enviro400's I'm surprised we haven't seen this more. They're rubbish! You're all welcome to have them at Bury though in exchange for our B9TL's back and the full batch of Citaro's, if you don't mind.

Anyway, in other news, I'm gonna miss you old friend. Goodbye P528 LND (Dennis Dart SLF/Wright Crusader, new to First Greater Manchester in 1997, withdrawn in 2012), you were always a fantastic pleasure to ride on

Also, didn't Optare make clear their Solo wouldn't last 15 years like the usual average? I'm sure they said 10 years and they'd be ready for death.

James QS don't really have any buses route branded at the moment, the 07 Geminis were 17/18 branded. The OM transferred in an BN B9s are just in new livery also QS have just started mass repainting so everything is de branded or partially de branded.

BN or some Enviro's have 36/37 branding

37295 confirmed as we speak its doing its last late turn at Bury, and then is off to Ashton, i suspect it wont be the only 07 from Bury. Personally I new this would happen all along, had an inkling

I wonder if the whole batch of 07s from 37279 to 300 are coming here as for 37288/89 on another thread it is though they will stay with West Yorkshire but then again they could come home

Id say yes, as Bury are going to end up with an awful lot of B9s like Qs so the 07s at QS could well be displaced
