James  looked at my list   only 60 Oldham have had  is KM 60 UBZ   (90519)   is that the one you have
 
I wish some confirmation would occur over 31943 there are postings on the gmbuses group suggesting Ashton arrow is now at OM, when it's on loan to Bolton. Also the Rotheram Darts are suggested to have replaced the SBA darts. Any confirmation would be good?
 
69572 and 69149 at Bury Depot with a third in identified bus from Bolton
 
When do First take over Finglands?
 
40406  at Oldham   on 415s   not sure weather loan or transfer
 
Coverage in the Oldham Chronicle about First re-painting some of their vehicles into old liveries. They also say that all eight buses (Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Manchester, Bury, Ramsbottom, Bolton, Lancashire United) will be at a heritage event at the Museum of Transport on Sunday 20 October.

yes  and as usual  they have left pioneer out of repainting on of theirs in commemative local livery
 
I'm curious when First or if First get the go ahead over the Finglands take over? Is it going to be run on the basis of First Pioneer as a low cost unit. I don't claim to know to much about the business of Finglands.
Makes me think a lot about the business plan of First in Manchester going forward. Bury depot still has a very unsettled future despite initial plans being blocked.
