I was saying that as the ex X35 deckers are from the same batch of leather seated Geminis that WN have, whereas QS's have the standard Esteban Civic seating. By sending all three over, that would also give WN a spare Gemini for use on the 32 and X34... or for when they feel like deploying one onto the 600! lol

All i can say to that nicholas is fair point Smile

Today at Bolton we saw 4 Dennis Arrows out 31917 was on a #507, 31921 was on a #572, 31922 was on a #519 and 31924 was on a #562 Withins Circular. I managed to get a picture of sorts all of these vehicles today.

Haha I know, I just wanted to get on it because it was an Arrow! :P I was gonna stay on for the full route because it's only a quick one isn't it, but I thought that I'd see what was going on at the depot whilst I was there lol. Nothing looks like its changed! Does anyone know where 31935 R435ULE went after it had accident damage or whatever? It just seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth along with 31925 P425PVW lol! :O

Nope there's loads of them still in service, with many of the R-reg ones having 2013 tax disks now! :P

From what I've seen, it's a bit like this:

31929, 31936, 31943 - Ashton.
31917, 31918, 31919, 31920, 31921, 31922, 31924 - Bolton.
31939, 31948, 31952 - Oldham.
30586, 31903, 31923, 31926, 31928, 31930, 31932, 31934, 31938, 31941, 31946, 31947 - Wigan.


RE: First Manchester - T42 PVM - 17/06/2012 10:25
