Not a good start. First dumping an old olympian down there, has it been out in service?

Is this one of the 'new' buses that First are advertising on this week's publicity commencing Sunday 9th March or just for training purposes?

RE: First Manchester
Timetables for the 41 and 419 are now on the TfGM website. 419 journeys extended by 12 mins from Middleton to Ashton and by 14 mins from Ashton to Middleton (with buses arriving 2 mins earlier). 41 times between Ashton and Dukinfield remain mainly the same, except for having a later arrival time into Ashton.

The 41 will split routes for one day only on Saturday (1 March) with the Ashton-Dukinfield and Ashton-Crowhill sections running as separate services, while the 419 will run along the same diversion as the 409. 419 will start running via Crowhill from Monday (3 March).

Rather odd working this afternoon saw Plaxton SLF Dart 40364 operating on 59 service, first time I've seen a Dart on here for a while

RE: First Manchester
Forthcoming Timetables now have the timetables for the 41, 409 and 419 on their website. 409 will be given an extra 4 mins to get into Ashton with the diversion.

Also on there is the 335, which like the 41, has been given a couple of extra minutes to get back into Ashton town centre.
