Yep. Apparently it will remain at Oldham until beginning of March and will be registered as a 13 plate and will then be tried out at Dukinfield. I was told its one of the longer ones and is possibly being looked at as a replacement for the Darts.

On another note apparently Pionner have regained the evening 231 tender from April. Will be interesting to see what gets allocated to this service. Last time First had it Darts were used but they never seem to have Darts out in the evenings now, its either B9's or Solo's, i would think a Solo is too small so my money's on a B9.

yes im also told that we have the 231 but im told it could well be a "green bus" allocation the workings are being looked at it will be that or a 54 plate solo

the streetlite will be tested for workngs on "runarounds" (331/3/346/389( and 38/39`s with 8 or 10 to be ordered if succesful.
duki atm has the best kpi`s in the mcr operations and they are looking to increase it as much as poss which is why upgrades to 348/350 now they are looking at other routes and see what passengers think of them (so ill be nice n busy)
