From Monday


Thanks

Don't know for sure, but the 511 is being rerouted in the Breightmet area, from Monday, to partly replace the withdrawn 536 service.

I believe that there is to be an announcement, about the future of Bury depot.

I'm presuming it will stay with Bury tbh.

I did read a rumour on another forum, took it with a pinch if salt as it was ridiculous. Had to check the date tbh. Lol.

Noted 66863 in service on the 524, I assume loaned from Oldham or transferred to replace the badly damaged 66892 from the Radcliffe RTC

Ive Also heard a rumor about Bury,i`m not going to say fully what it is as i am not 100% sure if it is certain or not but it involves another big operator

In this business its ripe with rumours as i get told stuff everyday and just gotta take everyone of them with a pinch of salt untill it actually happens, as according to form first are to make an announcement so best just waiting and see if this happens.

In other news its seems the inivitable has actually happened in that both demos at Oldham Depot have actually now seen Cross-Border service to Huddersfield on 184s with 35102 making the treck yesterday morning and on Wednesday 36300 performed 08:30 journey from Huddersfield.

As for the rumours its a case of wait and see but an annoucement of sorts is supposedly going to be made sometime tomorrow and this had caused all the speculation

36300 has wandered around on other Oldham depot routes, as I spotted it heading into Manchester on Friday afternoon to run the 1811 X84 journey to Carrcote.

Somebody manage to capture 35102 leaving Huddersfield. Would also appear that Citaro 60224 also made the trek over the hills to Huddersfield.

Although most Sunday 22s have been double-deck in recent years, I have not seen any Enviro400s there on Sundays for a while. Although Enviro400s operate a few weekday journeys alongside the usual Volvo B7RLEs, most Sunday buses in recent months have been Volvo B9TLs.
