Optare Solo on 81A
B7s on 83
Enviro 400s on 24/182s normally there's only the odd one out on here but this week has seen about 3 out daily
B7 on 184
The above is as I've said what I saw while I was out yesterday, sorry for lack of fleetnumbers though
hi i have also seen an opatare on the 409 at lunchtime looking rammed full i think that a couple off the enviro 400 must be out and they dont have any cover and that is all they have in the depot

A road closure will be in place in Royton Centre from 2000 on Thursday 31 October until 0600 on Friday 1 November.
Services 181/182 from Manchester
Buses will run via Shaw Road and Edge Lane Street to High Barn Street, then normal route.
Services 181/182 towards Manchester
Buses will run as normal to High Barn Street, then via Edge Lane Street to Shaw Road, then normal route.
Service 409 from Oldham
From Oldham Road, buses will run via Broadway, Burnley Lane, Mill Brow, Middleton Road, High Street and Sandy Lane to Radcliffe Street, then normal route.
Service 409 from Rochdale
From Rochdale Road, buses will run via Radcliffe Street, Sandy Lane, High Street, Middleton Road, Mill Brow and Burnley Lane to Broadway, then normal route.
It going to be fun for 409s tomorrow evening as in the evenings 409s only get 8mins Oldham-Royton and 25mins Oldham-Rochdale, no doubt there will be quite a bit of late running
mic can you tell whoever it was on slf the diversion takes another 7minutes on average as om copped me and a driver on mon eve to do 4 trips via the route with a b9 as it is non stop from om bus station to royton centre average in 15 mins extra running time with layover of 8 at rochdale should only be minor delays on that one night
this is from James he is having login trouble
RE: First Manchester - SF07 - 31/10/2013 20:39
B7RLEs out in force along Oldham Road today, as there was 2 out on the 83 and one on the 184, doing the 0713 journey to Huddersfield again.
As for the 409 diversion, I would have guessed it would have added another 10 mins, so they'll do well to do it in 7 minutes. The diversion route is probably the quickest route they could have chosen with vehicles such as the Enviro300s though, as the buses would probably be too big to cut through Holden Fold (part of 402 route).
Also, shouldn't the 64 and 408 be affected by the diversions too? Given that the 408 runs via the 409 route between the hospital and Dogford Road and the 64 runs to Middleton Road junction.

That's about right, as the 348 and 350s slightly interwork with Oldham journeys
Also seen some interesting dart allocations in Oldham today;

64 service is a QS service 40406 is still officially a pioneer bus as it still has legals and blinds in for that depot
