RE: First Manchester
Has anyone considered the possibility that the X34 may be moved to Queens Road? Does anyone know whether Wigan will definitely be running it or not? It just seems to me they don't have enough B9TL's to run it as of yet, however Queens do, so could that be a possibility? If they are going to relaunch the X34, this will be the third time!

RE: First Manchester
I've heard it on the Grapevine from a Manchester driver that he's heard it will be WN who operate the 12/25/26 Leigh to Manchester. Does anybody think 37303's repaint at BN could have something to do with X34? Maybe a transfer coming up to WN as it's also a leather seated B9? Wigan can operate from Leigh much more easily from the new Bryn depot so it would make sense. |

But it's just a rumor on here that they could be sent to Wigan for x34 at Wigan. |

I'd say Manchester would make more sense than Wigan because of greater number of b9s there. And if the x34 Is relaunched for a third time, they need to get it right this time. |
