All 3 have been in service for a week now, one by one they will be coming into the paint shop while 69539 has had guidewheels fitted so is available for Vantage when required (though it's not happened yet)

I cannot believe their lack of interest in Tameside to be honest. Literally every tender going to MCT. If speedwell was about now they could easily take on the 348/350 and probably wipe the floor with first as there's no interest whatsoever.

Don't forget that he was responsible for the closure of Bury & Tameside depots, also he tried to close Rusholme depot as well.

Following the closure of Bury depot, Bolton depot suffered a driver shortage, due to the large number of drivers that left the company, with some services having gaps of upto 40-mins, which are supposed to run every 10-mins.

RE: First Manchester
Most Citaros are now untaxed, last ones taxed are:

60253 taxed until May 19
60267 Taxed until October18
60269 Taxed until Aug 18
60277 Taxed until Aug 18
60283 Taxed until July 2018

60263 is interesting as it was re-Taxed after being withdrawn, Is there a plan for this one?
