Thought BN was supposed to be getting rid of their crap not getting more in? Notice some of the S-NUGs are on their way to Birkenhead including S661/2NUG which were new to Bolton back in the day. Might have been nice if they'd come home......

New to Bradford, but started service in Bolton Smile

Now if they brought back the First Pennine fleetname that would be good.

on the offical fleet list it shows it as Pennine depot

at a guess!!!! from what chris told me
40337/341/ 40871/8/9/42175/40001 and good old 31929/36/43

leaving behind all r---sba`s,53143-50, 40312/324-7/50280/40135 and the tfgm solo`s just to simplify the fleet a bit


RE: First Manchester - Damien - 24/08/2012 10:37

Major Building fire in Radcliffe Bury, resulting in Most of Radcliffe being either closed to traffic, or long diversions, and delays, as the fire is still not out.

The point of my post is, that neither 'TFGM' nor First Manchester has any mention of diversions in place, its a bit poor really.

Services affected 512,513,524,486

sounds about right


RE: First Manchester - james - 24/08/2012 16:42

just had a look into details of the "minor time changes" to 346 it now seems the 350 we save is now going to go on to a 346 as this will now require 4 buses allocated to this route as a round trip will take 62 minutes in layover at hyde so each 346 will have 17 minutes layover at ashton. but im told they may interwork with the 389 as same again"minor tiometable changes" means there arrival time into ashton is the same departure so im told that 346/389 may interwork like it did with 393 last year

so we arent saving any buses/ duties (but gaining one) just seems they are trying to avoid the relibility issues there having on 331/333/346/335(peak hour)

all will tell on the 2nd

The 14 or so Enviros at Bolton have been going through the workshops and are gaining Greater Manchester branding, looking very smart.


RE: First Manchester - Damien - 24/08/2012 18:10

It seems, 69165 from Bury is at Bolton on the 8s in Farnworth today
