I was just joking that Dentonian caused me momentarily to choke on my cornflakes / splutter tea all over my computer screen, because his service change date deadline was a week earlier than I've got marked on my calendar. Nothing strictly related to Oldham bus service changes. |

RE: First Manchester
Now I don't know if this is just me but travelling on the 135 on a bendy scania omnicity noticed the following points: Drivers seem to have some difficulty hearing what passengers are saying through the cab security screen. Do they have an in cab mike or similar to make it easier for them to hear, couple of drivers last week were getting quite ratty because they were having to repeat themselves. Also the suspension seems to be rock hard, any slight bumps or worse there seems to be no give at all. However on a plus note the deckers used on the V1 are gorgeous, not a huge fan of the purple livery but very nice buses all round. |

33752 is still with us in Rusholme (29th Nov 16), despite that it's supposed to already be in Larbert, Scotland East. |

Queens Road have still got at least one Dynamo B5 off the road at the moment as its still parked up at Mansfields Trafford Park and while visiting Thomas Hardies yesterday (not sure how long its there for) is one of Bolton's Vantage's. As for 30915 this was working 11:50 387 Ashton-Hyde yesterday, this is an interesting duty as it seems to be the only Dukinfield duty on 387 that gets anything allocated to it, the only thing to stay the same is the driver as it has the same friendly lady driver daily. |

Still more routes that will be added to all depots. This could also mean all citaros will be withdrawn next year |
