30875 30878 before being transferred to Bolton were painted in Rotheram it's reported this is one of the main reasons whŷ the B7s have took so long to arrive into the Manchester fleet

30874 only arrived early this morning so not in service yet

RE: First Manchester
Its better using them than having them sitting around doing nothing.

Will Streetlites/B7's be big enough for some of Finglands routes?

RE: First Manchester
409s seemed a little hectic today coming into Ashton bunched together in twos and threes. Three were waiting to alight/load when I got off my bus, all three held up by a Pioneer Solo that was blocking the stand. Two 409s left within minutes of each other the first one loaded then as it left the bus station went not in service, presumably only stopping to let passengers off. The second left the bus station empty but then went back onto a 409 at the traffic lights by ikea, the third left as normal in service completely empty

This is due to the stupidly designed and hectic new start to rochdsle bus station

That's a question that's been asked a lot, and I also would say there is some doubt as to whether these B7s are suitable

The tridents will be fine and me personally would have thought B9s would have been better

RE: First Manchester
I reckon the single deckers are better off at Queens Rd with some new deckers for south Manchester services, and perhaps to upgrade some services like the 582.
