Add 37426 to that list,And yes it really is repainted and no I am not mistaken, leaving moor lane bis station going back to the depot after doing a 36. But I wanted to be first to spot it lol

RE: First Manchester
Interesting sightings today was at least 4 Bolton Depot Barbie liveried B9s ex 8 branded allocated to various services at Oldham Depot (didnt get fleetnumbers unfournatly) Added to the previous post yes Buses seemed to be having problems today showing the correct destination and service numbers for the changes today and it wasn't just confined to Oldham Depot, Bury Depot were affected as well with none of their fleet that was out today being able to show the new 94 route, from what I saw some drivers were opting to show 93 with 94 on a piece of paper in the windscreen, I also heard that some drivers were still showing 138 upto Unsworth on journeys to Manchester then showing 93 from Unsworth onwards. I'd love to know why no one has bothered to reprogram the destinations displays ready for today as it doesn't take that long to do, I know Stagecoach always manage to get their destinations uptodate for any timetable or route changes so I'd like to know why First weren't on the ball with the changes for today |

RE: First Manchester
Damien it was me who posted the news and what I was trying to get at was the fact that the B9s Oldham have got from Bolton were Barbie liveried B9s that used to be branded for 8s but have still got their rear end branding for the route with the rest of the vehicle debranded |
