Bearing in mind this info is from the P10 fleetcard I would expect there to be more vehicles there now.

34057 - 34116 were doing Bluebird duties today

I presume all the T reg MAN's have now gone to Charles Street then?

There was still a couple of MANs knocking about at AZ last week. I spotted MANs on the 217/218, 346 and also the 345.
Seems strange that AZ were using a decker on the 183 as the V reg Dart seems to do nothing but taxi duties.

Talking of Bluebird, has the OFT cleared the proposed take-over or not (it was due to been announced on the 6th), as I have not heard anything. The last time I was in Middleton, there were 6 darts "On Loan".

Unless they are all outside at the back out of sight, then they are not there.

Strange as well, as the 183 doesn't get big loads of passengers on the route. A few passengers on board between Limeside and Oldham (mainly as alternative to the 76) but hardly used between Oldham and the hospital too. MAN was on the route yesterday but was back to the Enviro400 today with 19100 on the route.

I think 22151 and 22156 can be added to the list.
