1> Its been said the vehicles are being stored on a car park on Ashton Moss, how secure is this Car Park their having to use?

2> How will drivers go about signing on/off duty each day (I've heard it could be at least a week before their allowed back into their depot) considering that the temporary location won't have signing on/off facilities and paying in facilities and is just a location to stable the buses.

3> Am I right in guessing any maintenance will be temporarly done by other Depots maybe Hyde Road?

Andrew from what I've been told there will be staff at the temporary depot/car park until the depot reopens. It's literally somewhere to store the vehicles and for drivers to park and sign on within reasonable distance from Ashton bus station. Presumably taxi buses will run too and from the car throughout the day tomorrow.

Maintiance will be done at other depots until Ashton reopens which as you said could be a good week away. Just to sum it up, parts of the mill are still well alite and burning tonight due to the fact firemen can't get close enough because the Remains are so unsafe.

Certainly interesting times.
